2 color OEM 04 Gauge Cluster

LED Swap in progress.. hehehehehehehe.. yeah you know I couldn't stop for long.. Hell, everyone else in Dallas is demodding.. Great time to step it up. And yes, that is a 2 tone 04 OEM Gauge cluster.. BEASTMODE!! The camera can't capture color accurately, but the color is consistent throughout the gauge it just looks different in certain areas in the pic.

Just a teaser for now

I'm not doing it personally, SexyRob here on the forums is... He's done several gauge clusters before.

The 04s are a PAIN IN THE A$$.. They require a LOT of sanding of the amber color off of the gauge, and replacement of the bulbs by actual LEDs which have to be resoldered. The needles have to be removed so you have to recalibrate them as well when you get everything put back together. The Dash has to be taken apart to get to the AC Cluster to redo the almost microscopic lights and they require some advanced soldering as well. (I sat and watched him do all of this)

It's NOT an easy process.. It's VERY laborious, that's why not many people work w/ 04 clusters.. The 05 and above are a little easier, but not much.

If you're interested, PM SexyRob for price.
