Slugging along...we see the 4 194 bulbs installed. Polarg, of course, since they undoubtedly give off the most light of any 194/LED bulb I have played with, and I've played with just about all of them.

Cleanliness is next to godliness when it comes to soldering.

Now I am attaching a blue light to color the backside of the needles. The LEDs have a 560-micro ohm resistor attached to each line, then each leads shrink-tube wrapped for an insulated line.

...so here's how the 4 LEDs look attached to the base of each respective needle base.

I attached each of the LEDs using a wire-tie and have the beam aimed at the needle base.

Lastly, here are the connectors I will be using to splice into the OEM wires...as you can see, this will allow me to switch between either my 5th gen or 4th gen cluster with ease.

...then I had to strip all 30-some wires, crimp the connector, then solder the wire. THIS SUCKED.

...alright, that's it for now...more pics and updates as things carry on!

So, just wondering....what's the purpose of the whole guage cluster thing? I know you using transparent stuff...and lighting it...but what's the rest of the deal? Switching b/w different gen clusters???

Manny, I really apprciate the kind words coming from someone whom know what it's like to pour countless man-hours into a project. Oh, and for the record, I am joining the 3-way active club. I'm going to have to glass kicks/tweets/door enclosures for what I'm thinking, lemme know if you wanna join in on the glassing fun. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The middle console turned out MOST excellent.

That quote gave me a flashback to "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure". //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
