i installed mine on friday, was a pretty straight forward install (about 2 hours). I used the write-up linked in this thread. There is a small issue of the color not being even, this looks like it is caused by the larger areas being exposed by the LEDs. Its not really a big deal, hardly noticeable. One thing that surprised me was the shape of the green turn-signal arrows, pretty sweet. Overall i am happy! Here is a picture...
edit: i took the picture with my cell phone, please overlook the quality. and i am stopping for gas on the way home from work.

I'm still looking for a better way to even out the illumination of the center gauges. Your right about the larger area, the cluster was never designed to show that much lit area. I think any new designs I make will take that into consideration.Thanks for posting pics!

I ordered a gauge face from ford-a-tude in Km. I must say excellent work. I have no regrets on purchasing this item. I will not take this off of my car now, the looks are easily 1000x better than stock.
I followed the instructions & install was a breeze. I am running with the blue glow to them. I also must comment on 908ssp's comment. If you haven't seen these in person & lit up at night please don't put your 2 cents in. They don't interfere with night vision at all.
Once again I don't regret purchasing these. Craftsmanship & quality are amazing. Cudos's to you brother, awesome job....Highly recommended!!!
