Thanks. Do I need to remove the instrument cluster to do this? If so, what's the best way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yes, you need to remove the instrument cluster. Long ago, airhunt2 asked how to remove his tach, I gave a pretty detailed instruction here. Let me know if you don't follow the instructions.

Velocifero Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks Velocifero. Where can I find the LEDs that will fit? ebay or here: http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html theyre almost as cheap and theyre based in America so it doesnt take 3+ weeks like some overseas ebay stores. ive gotten some bulbs from them. look for the "WLED" the wide angle ones for the cluster. the cluster is just replacements, the lighter and two bulbs above the cluster can be too. the switches and climate control gets more complicated however. i used blue bulbs. look: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/Mec...interonite2.jpg for some reason some of the lights look light blue. in fact, they arent. they look like normal blue LEDs, it's just a trick of the camera.
