    Leer shell, Karr alarm, LED Instrument cluster.
    Hey –
    I just bought a 2004 last week from a friend. I wish it was a 3.4 but the price was too good to pass up. It has a Leer shell top on it and a Karr alarm, and I think that's it for additions. Manual windows and door locks, but the Karr install included door lock actuator(s). I already replaced the intermittent actuator in the driver's door, and I don't yet know if the passenger door even has one. Next weekend's agenda.

    I have a question about the instrument cluster back lighting. Mine has big tach and speedo. Only one bulb was working, so I pulled out the cluster and replaced 2 (both?) with Philips yellow LEDs. Rather than pulling the cluster all the way out, I just flipped it over - without disconnecting the connectors - and replaced the 2 bulbs. But, every YouTube video I've seen shows 4 bulbs for backlights. I didn't see any other backligh bulbs, only the 2, so maybe I missed the other 2. Was there ever a cluster with only 2 backlight bulbs, both pretty close to the center?

    Thanks for any advice on this, and excited to see all the mods this group has done.

    Cheers,
    Jeff
