    Hello fellas! New to the site! I have read the thread and at some point it says you can just paint the needles for this mod. May be a stupid question, but what kinda paint do you use? Was looking into doing blue needles, with white background

    Not hard. @Jerez did mine. And the LEDs on the background and factory Jbl radio. You can ship your cluster to him or if your in SoCal meet up with him. He has a thread on it here. SoCal led dash swap.

    How long is the turn around time? And what happens to the speedo for miles purposes while it's out?

    No. Look up his thread. He has prices. It's a great mod. Orange light delete.

    Too much money and no one wants to pay for it to be shipped prior.

    Thank for the 411. Just ordered my bulbs. Gonna give it a try. Do any of you know if the hvac cluster lights can be changed. I saw a process that could possibly change it, but looked too much of a pain. And also if the clock color can be changed on a 07 to blue or white rather then ORANGE!!
