When I removed the cluster I was blown away by how much debris was back there :ohno: I took my shop vac and some rags and took care of that now its all nice and clean in there :biggrin:

So was it plug and play, or did you have to do any mods to make them fit?

Looks good!

It was plug and play, they fit nice and snug into the housing holding the 194 incandescent bulbs. After that its just a matter or making sure the polarity is line up when installing and your set :). One recommendation I would make is bring a towel so you can wipe you hands dry of sweat. It can be very tricky trying to remove the bulb from the housing with sweaty fingers lol.

I bought the same colours off of Ben on fb that deals in them, haven't had the car running yet but that looks good, I also got the titanium gauge rings from Z1 to clean it up and make it look a little more modern haha I actually forgot I swapped the LEDs until I saw your picture here!!

is there hot spot in your cluster? I did this before on my other cars, and the hotspot pretty much ruin it, so I had to get them led strip.
