Big thanks to Llane (auiotour) for his howto which made this whole thing really simple.







Yes, I know about my temp guage I didn't press it down all the way as it took quite a bit of pressure just to get it where it is now.

Two problems: the numbers are difficult to read in nighttime city driving (orange streetlights drown out the dimly lit numbers) so I'm considering swaping a bulb back in to provide some more backlight (either that or a nice set of indiglo gauges would probably help ). Also, make sure your hands are clean when handling your cluster. I did mine at night and noticed the next day that the temp and gas gauges are smudged

I personally went with the red lighting theme in my car (it is T-Red). I have red bulbs for the foot-wells (the lights that come on when the doors are open) and I put red gel in the over head lights (the same stuff they use in theatre performances to cover the lights). I looks awesome at night. I can show you some pics if you want.

Yeah, use a flat bladed screwdriver or similar to (carefully) pry the dome light out at the four corners.

Tnx. Now, the question is: there are (I guess) 3 bulbs in the dome light - the dome light per ce and 2 of the reading light bulbs - or whatever they r called. Did you change all of 'em?

P.S. My blue festoon bulbs are already ordered.

No, I didn't change the map lights because the blue lights obviously aren't very bright, so reading a map or directions (especially in blue ink) would be difficult.
