How to: 4th gen gauge install

I guess I need to repost some pictures as well. I don't know what happened to the others I had put up. If anybody else has pics they would like to post of their gauges setup, feel free. This will give others some ideas so their imagination might get sparked.

Source for Odometer Display
I modified the lighting for my Instrument Cluster on my 2000 with the Blue LED's and it looks great (and was pretty easy to do). Only disapointing thing is my odometer is the stock color. I saw a mod to replace the diodes that make the display blue, but I would rather make the modification on a "spare" one rather than try it on my working unit. I have seen where I can get the whole instrument cluster on E-bay and a few other sites, but I don't need the whole thing, just looking for the small board with the odometer/trip counter if that is possible. No luck so far finding one -any ideas??

There is a bulb that sits behind the odometer. The odometer itself is a piece of glass that displays your mileage using LCD. Behind it sits a thin piece of red translucent film. This is why your odometer looks red when stock lights are in there. As you can see in my last pic, I took that piece out. While it may look cool in the pic, you can see where the bulb is, so it really is tacky. Next time I get around to it, I wanna put another piece of film in there such that I don't get the glare I have now.

Stan nailed it heh. I used pure blue LEDs. VERY blue and VERY bright but I love it. The red is hard to see but I don't think that really matters lol. I love the darker blue :P I will try to get pics asap
