This will probably be my last post on this. I've geeked out on this long enough. I've decided to scrap the e-Bay white gauges and go with the stock black with blue LED's. While they looked great in the day time, in the dark, they were too faint without having to go deep into the cluster and do a seriously intricate and custom LED mod; which I tried but it would have taken another month. Anyway, I ended up spraying the gauge bezel Duplicolor T177 Metallic Gunmetal to accent it a little... saw someone on here with a similar color on theirs. As always, the pics aren't great but it looks awesome in person.

Can hardly wait to get this back in the car and drive it again!

I'm glad you got rid of those white gauges! I was having a hard time being nice and not telling you to rip those cheap things off and throw them away.

LOL So now you tell me! It's alright... but I did really like them until it got dark.

Brangeta

Well, you couldn't really see through them, so I just had faith that you'd realize they were in no way an upgrade and you did!

Wow I'm very impressed with that. The red and orange needles turned out great with it

what kind of leds did you use?
were they just direct fit replacement?

Thanks... like I said, it's better in person!

The cluster lights are blue, inverted, wedge (194 drop-in) types. I got them here. You'll need to get sockets for them. Somewhere on the board, I posted part numbers from both Auto Zone and Napa for those. Napa is cheaper.

The headlight and HVAC panels are all 3mm LED's that are specially mounted. I might do a write up on how to do it later or at least post some pics. It's somewhat complicated. On the headlight panel, I wanted the dome light indicator to be white. And on the HVAC panel, the A/C indicators to be green... so they are.
