Get pre-built ones from superbrightleds for the hvac. Neo3 and Neo4. Way easier.

I had Alex just do the white LEDs background. I kept the needles red and the ODO display orange to keep it looking stock.

Cookie - just that little change makes a world of difference. Looks real good.

If you don't mind me asking, what did he charge and how long did you have to drive around with your dash torn up?

$200 and about a week.

I'm always watching.... Lol

To make sure I order the right LEDs for the HVAC, you need 2 Neo4 and 6 Neo3? And the HP ones can fit if they're sanded down a bit?

Any tried the HP ones vs the regular ones?

If I wanted to do blue buttons and put cool white on the display ones I would order 2 Neo4 whites and 6 Neo3 blues?

Thanks 00328 and MBJ116! Its the mod you are constantly reminded of, LOL. Anyway, if memory serves, about a week or so of downtime (no cluster). When I took my cluster out, I put my interior back together right there and then (cluster cover and drivers side lower dash). Alex had them done in same day they arrived. Turn around time is 95% shipping. Anyway, if you have a Garmin/TomTom/whatever, hook it up so you know how fast you are going.............. or just keep up with traffic. Also, TANK up so you don't run out of gas. When you re-install your cluster, you will have the CEL on as well as the TRAC/other lights on. They will turn off after several cycles, no biggie.

$200 and about a week.

I'm always watching.... Lol

Remember I didn't have the HVAC switched to white, just had the "pointer" LEDs changed out including the installation of the OFF position LED. Again, great work by Alex!

Thanks for the quick reply guys.

I just found Alex's web site. When I have more time I'll have to check into it further.
It looks like the 200. price includes the HVAC too. Correct?

It also looks like the vehicle can still be driven with the dash torn up, Correct also?

Sounds like you have a nice mix of orange and white.
