IMO i think the gauge cluster looks outdated compared to the rest of the car. i think it should have come brighter with leds and not green. Are there any upgrades out there for the cluster as far as lighting or swaps?

Most people stick with the +01 guage cluster, not to sure about swapping LED's for backlight but some people here have tried to disable the auto dimmer of the guage cluster...

my 01 gs has white background lights instead of green that i seen people have.

Some backlighting looks greener, some look whiter, differing from car to car and temperature. To learn more about lighting swaps, search for LED gauges, etc. It's extremely tricky, but possible.

^^^ i just can't stand the green, bright white like the new gen would look badass, wish i could just throw the new cluster on there! hahahaha

the new leds do look very nice. i want a set too. ours just look too old school

i think you can change the colour of the backlights that light up the dials which would give a newer look....i personally want a blueish colour or really bright white.

i have a 99 and was wondering if its a straight swap for a 01+ Cluster cover?
i really like those silver lining around the dials

Yup--plug and play, man. Literally just grab the thing and pull it out.

What's the difference between that one and the 98-00?

thank you for showing me the first thing i'm going to get when i pick up my GS

our clusters actually use CCFL tubes for the backlighting of the gauges, hence why they are able to appear black even during the daytime and then light up when the car comes on.

i believe Vadim540i is looking into doing this. I referred him to AAC's site because he wants to go amber/orange, and i couldn't find orange CCFL's but they did have LED strips that i think would be interesting.
