Thanks, takes 2 to 5 minutes max, just have to flip the two little caps that hide two screws at the top of the panel then undo two phillips head screws and pull the instrument panel out and unclip the three panel plugs.

That looks awesome! Where did you get the globes from? This may sound stupid, but what top panel are you referring to? Cheers.

Looks a bit light to me - darker blue would look better, IMO. Still better than plain white though.

I think its a little dark. Looks good. I had mine similar, but found the needles a bugger to see at night. So I ended up getting a Silver T-Series Fascia (The expensive alternative), and replaced the LED's which were used to turn it blue from the green with original globes. Heres a pic of the cluster at night.

yours looks good mate, mine isnt as dark as it looks in the picture, its actually nearly too bright, also if you wanted it brighter you can get 2.3 watt globes, or darker just use the 1.2watters, i used 2watt.
Cheers Marty |

That looks sweet, I'd like to do this. Maybe you could write up a little guide with pics for everyone?
