Default modding your gauge cluster??

anyone do any mods on their stock gauge cluster? easy to remove?

I was thinking of replacing all the bulbs in it to white led's to remove that green and red back lighting I have in my 2005. Plus thinking of making a housing to go in front of it like the new Toyota's. I think it would look pretty sweet.

just wondering if anyone else has tried anything similar??? and if so, could throw me some advice?

i don't think you can go white because there is a blue film that makes the yellow bulbs green, i did blue led

i have a thread here

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've read in other forums that they used the t1.5 bulbs and the b8.3 bulbs.
