Gday, Just wanted to show a pic of my modified cluster. My odometer had stopped working so I pulled it down to replace the little nylon gear and thought why not muck around with the cluster dials.
 I put it back in the car this morning and everything works fine, just gotta wait for night so I can see it with the lights on. Now how do I go about putting white LEDs in it?

Question, how did you cut out the little square holes so neatly? What did you use to cut them out?

looks nice mate. wouldnt bother with led's. just go to autobarn and get the colour globe you want. you need 4 for the whole cluster and then can change indicator and full beam light if you want. i'll see later when i get home if i can dig up pics.

So you cut the indicator symbols out, so how does it still look black in the photos?
