Hey,

I actually put some indiglo on my cluster a few years ago that i got from ebay. they're the 7 shade ones between green and blue.
I took it to a local tuner shop (fast n furious type of place) and they did it in about a half hour. The reason i didnt attempt it on my own was b/c of the needle issue. I heard horror stories about the needles gettin all messed up, so i chose to just have it installed for 30 bucks.

thas my 2 cents.

I bought some from UPR (69.95) and installed them myself ONLY because you could do it without removing the needles. I was sort of easy but also a little nerve racking because you have to bend the gauge face a little. you also have to remove the small pegs the speedometer and tachometer needles rest on. Make sure you puts these back in good, I had to pull everything out and put them back in after I had everything installed. It took me about 30-45 minutes to do everything . I didnt hook the power up to the lights I hooked it up to one of the cluster power lines so it comes on when I start the car up not when I turn on the lights

Two issues: It doesn't exactly match up with the sensor warnings at the bottom and Ive tried to adjust but its just something I have to live with right now. Also when you turn the lights on you get a little lights that comes out of the needle bases.

Im satisfied though.. Hope this helps
