SurmanM has been approved as a NICO fabricator!

Mike does some wonderful work on dash clusters and has a super skilled hand.

I have personally seen him do some of the work and needless to say its TOP NOTCH.

These look awesome...can you do 07 Tundra's??? By the way, I found it really funny that the google banner ad that popped up when I saw this was about gauge cluster repair...just a random coincidence?

Looks good, on my GTO I had my cluster's colors changed, also the needles changed colors as they went up...Any thought of that option? Also can you program the DIC to to say different things? We had our screen names pop up or Holden,also actavated a disabled shift light, the GM dealer got a kick out of it

Wow that is pricey. Then again that's what you pay for an extremely unique service.

i did some research on the tundra it can be done its the same principle rip apart the whole gauge cluster to the bare bone desoldier all smd theirs alot of them and resolider new ones with the color of your choice you just need to get the same type of smd they are 3.5mm x 2.85mm LED the tundra gauge cluster is orange and very dim end result would look something like this

yeah i saw that to with the google banner whats up with that i even went on their website dam google advertising

i have been actually doing alot of research on this what i ultimately want to do is have rgb leds in place of all the pre existing leds they would have to be on a custom circuit board powered from an external power source connect that to a multiline rgb controller which can be set up to change colors in sequence up to 16million different color variations and tie into that a controller which will basically allow the instrument cluster to be converted into a dynamic indication of your speed and engine RPMs. As you accelerate, LEDs will light up to indicate your current speed and engine RPM. The faster you go, the more LEDs will illuminate im still far from getting all that figured out what i need to find is the appropriate wiring diagram for the back of the wire harness specifically the ground wire, speed wire, power wire, and tach wire. if anyone knows were i can get that please help

i need to find these in order to tie into them this controller anyone interested can read this pdf i think i found exactly what integrated circuits i need http://cache.national.com/ds/LM/LM2907. ... LM3914.pdf

Hey surman...

neat job on the dash colors man.. listen I stay in United Arab Emirates - Dubai, Im interested on the Dash colors, but can the dash be sent to Dubai?

If so how much would be the charges? Also can you tell me the picture of the blue altima you have on your profile, are those headlights available, I have a V6 3.5 2008 Altima 4 door and how much would those cost with the shipping?

thanks a lot for the reply bro... but listen can you post a video of removing the dash first, so Ill see if i can get the dash out. One more question, in this part of the country, the speed is in Km/h on the dash, will that make a difference??

sure hear is the video of the removal procedure

the km/h will not make a difference what i am doing is disassemble the gauge cluster to its circuit board, desoldering all the leds which are colored orange and re soldering new blue surface mounted leds ..
