Default Does anyone do soldering for the Speedos on older models?

I have a 06 SB and Id like to get flush mount caps and they are led with red light or blue lights. I'd like the Speedo to match. Buying new isn't an option because I want mileage to match and honestly I don't want spend to much.

I don’t advocate soldering in Speedos.

+1 with no soldering in speedos, the flux might spatter and ohh it could burn.

Yea I saw some videos and it seemed a bit out of my skill set. Figured I'd ask if anyone here specialized in doing the job. Yayy for low lit Speedo!
