Can't comment on whether they are good or not, but $10 is incredibly cheap. With the amount of work that goes into putting a set of those on, hope you can find someone that has actually used them and can comment on the quality.

I can tell you one thing, if you can get them installed and pics taken and it it actually works good, then a crapload of people are going to be paying ebay a visit.

Yep, those are the exact same ones we got. He contacted the vendor and ordered the dimmer switch to replace that funky on/off switch.

He's been working on wiring the faceplates to automatically turn on when the UV lights in the dash do. If you look around in that thread I referenced you'll find some info on that.

Edit: Personal preference but I don't like that big center ring glowing so I would cut the trace feeding those areas...

I ordered the kit last year. I installed them and the backlighting lasted about 5 minutes and died. They still looked good so I put some leds to light them up. If you don't mind taking the chance they are a steal.
