Thats definitely the way to go for 67-68 then. Simple install and looks fantastic.

Yeah, I guess the instrument cluster already illuminates it and its grounded by the cluster.

My Jeep tach (in the clock hole) is probably the best illuminated gauge in the dash. I wish I could see the speedo that well...
