Thanks guys. This is my first attempt at soldering, asides from practicing on a practice board. I am going to order some helping hands with magnifying glass and finer soldering tips.
Be carefull not to create any short circuit, the contacts are very close to each others. You really now how to do this before jumping, you need to practice!
Do not put too much soldering, do no stay too long on a given contact, but stay long enough to have an even solder spot, apply soldering at the last moment, do not put it on the icon and then on the target spot, use a low power iron, user silver solder if you can.
Start with the easier one: nb 1 or 8
do not forget the contact to be inserted for the led to light up if you want stock light look (look at your stock tubes). In fact you need to start with this one not with the tube.
In order to put the tube in, you can cut in decreasing order the wires for nb 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 so that inserting the tube in the board is easy.
