How do I know which end is positive? I don't want to keep pulling the cluster to test bulbs. My wrist looks like a failed attempt at suicide just reaching back there twice.

 

Nevermind I got it..... it makes it easier when your cluster is disassembled.

What I'm a little miffed about, and didn't even notice in your pic until mine was done, is that the red line for EMPTY on the fuel gauge isn't transparent and does not glow. it looks weird.

 

One thing to watch out for when using the blue film to make the VFDs blue is that during the day you almost can't see them at all.

The biggest problem with this is the other indicators, like 4WD, O/D Off, etc CANNOT be seen at all during the day.

 

If you have an old strobe light laying around with a blue filter with it, it's the exact same stuff as the blue rosco and its free, works just fine

 

I bought mine from http://www.lightingelstore.com a couple of years ago, I needed some blue for this same project and I needed blue and red for my home theater calibration disc.

 

Hey guys im new to the forum. I came across this post and it helped me change all my gauges so thank you!

Only problem i am having and wondering if anyone could help with is in the gauge cluster the rpm gauge is the only one that wont light up no matter what i tried.

and the climate control works fine but just noticed today that the top part keeps going out and coming back on. think might be a loose bulb.


thanks again!!
