NYPD, im not saying im the first, im just saying I haven't seen anything since I've joined the forums...

oh

btw these are cold cathodes that you would normally place in a computer, got them for a hell of alot less already had a built in transformer and switch(i can turn them on and off at will), just had to lengthen the wires and tap into my power source for my radio

I think it came out well

2k3, yes I will be doing a write up, hopefully have it posted by next weekend

Andyman, I got the cathodes from Comp USA, they were the MadDog (i think, I am at school so I will find out for sure this weekend when i go home) duel cathode kit, only like 20 or so bucks

Nissan, yea I want to drop her soon, I just have to save money, that will probably be the last thing that gets done, im workin on the interior first and then the major stuff to the outside and performance last

thanks for the reply guys, keep em coming

Let's just say that I have found a way to swap our needles with a 0% chance of damaging the servos.

Hey Metal, do you find a way to remove those needle and didn't f*** up the whole thing, I realy need to know that, I hate my plain black cluster, and a swap to se one will bring out the ABS light. appreciate if you would share.

I used one tube on each side, each tube is about 14 inches each hardwired to the car and a seperate switch that I placed in the blank spot on the left side of the steering wheel under the mirror adjust ****

I placed my switch to look stock where the heated seats are supposed to be. I put 2 tubes under each side. Try that
