looks excellent. Did you do the light switch and overhead console too? If you ebay "blue rosco" you can get a sheet of that to put over your PRND21 and odometer. How about a list of bulbs used and how many. I wanna do this.

ya i wanna get the film,
ya i did the over head as well.
light switch is a solder job may do that later

Bulbs i used were:
B8.5D , 11 qty for the cluster i believe the 06+ only have 5
Neo04-B, 2-3 qty in the over head, 3 if you have the extra buttons
NEO5, 2 blue 1 white Climate control (need to be trimmed a bit)

if you have remote entry you have to remove a box on the back to get to a screw to complete the install, the box pulls straight out, also have to shave the back of one led so the box will go back on

and i got them at super bright leds

I really like that blue compared to the green. Just installed a stereo with mainly blue output and put a blue switch in for my grille lights - may just have to tear into that cluster and match those as well! Looks good man, great job!

I have a VW jetta and the gauges are all blue at night, they look awesome, would love to put that in the old Dodge.

I wonder if they have a more brilliant blue...

That blue looks real good. Nice work! How long did the whole application take you?
