Default Re: remove instrument cluster

Those gauges look great. Extremely clean and sharp looking. Is that how they came stock or did you do some work to them?

Well tonight I took apart my dash again and took out the gauge face to finish sanding out the green. I left the amber in for the KM/H readings but may turn those white as well. I have some white surface mounted leds coming soon but dont know if im even going to use them since everything is white already. I may replace some things like the turn signals and the 2-3-d-n-r-p lights with the white leds but we will see. I also have some white leds that will be going into the center console to turn those white as well. Also, the scion radio turns deep orange or deep blue so i may match the ignition and cig lighter with either blue or orange to match the radio. When the gauges were out, I saw a green plastic film that went over the odometer so hopefully that taken out will turn it white as well.

As you can see, remembering where the needles should be placed is a step I forgot. Once I get everything final, I will reposition them while the engine is warm and idling.
