If you want a blue cluster like the one posted it's really easy no solder involved just a bunch of t5 wedges and taking apart the cluster and sand the back of the face and needles then paint the back of the needles.

I just want to change the orange to blue, and the LCD screens.
I am afraid of needing my needles recalibrated. I have no clue how to do that.

It's actually a lot simpler than it seem the gas gauge fill up the tank and put the needle on full, temp and RPM take a before pic of them (car on and completely warmed up) and put them in the same spot. Speedo use a gps drive 60mph and place the needle on 60. If you want orange needles just leave them how they are if you want to change the color then sand and paint them and just tint the back of the face blue. I left my needles clear kinda like a ghost needle lol

Yes the OBD-II port would be the best option but a smart phone with.a camera and gps see do app works just as good if you dont have one. Ilmy whole gauge mod cost about $15. all the little idiot lights are leds you have to unsolder the old ones if you want a different color. I made mine all blue except the brake light and the low gas warning light those 2 are red

Sorry to bug you, you're just the first person who did this mod who is still on here and talking.
I really appreciate all this info. The dials were the only thing stopping me and you've given me the confidence to actually do the rest of my color swap.
