............. and to those who did....anyone here in SoCal that i can pay to have them make mine bright as well?

 

I want to buy an instrument cluster for 1989maxima.
And i will appreciate some guides to repair it. The dash is dark somedays. Just left temp and fuel gauge is lighting still, the others dark.

 

LED's work, cold cathodes work better but are almost too bright

 

Hey Lorenzo, it's Cory. Anyways scroll down to post #24 in this thread. I explain everything. Hope it helps!

If you just want to make the gauges brighter (nothing else), just go buy some 168 bulbs from a near by auto parts store.

Remove the stock 194 bulbs from the instrument cluster, transfer the light diffuser that covers the bulb to the new 168 bulbs, you're good to go.

It will cost you less than $5.

Of course, you can go LEDs also.
