Are yours burned out?

You need to pull the knee board and gauge bezel before you can get the cluster out.

Blhde, that would be so cool to do, (i'd do mine orange), but I dont think i'd have enough time to do it. Would be cool though!

I hope you do them all. Otherwise the color will not be the same.

Why not just replace all your bulbs with LED's? if you search you can find the how-to and it takes 8-10 led's...

I have done that.

If I were to redo it I would paint it and use white leds.
