Turbo'd_Wxman, I was wondering what the ride quality is like with the BR-5's? Is it affected at all?

That really does look great. One of the big things I don't like about the IS is the red backlighting...

Looks good, you should have taken the pics without the flash though, to see how bright the dash really is.

I'm fairly sure it's not a kit. If you do a seach you'll find a bunch of threads that tell you where the cluster is located along with where the extra leds can be found. Also the part #'s you'll need are in those threads.

Ummm, no. This has been talked about for a year or so. No one has been able to change the entire cluster, A/C unit, the ignition switch, etc. That is why this is a big deal.

Now for part numbers, good luck finding 14 volt bulbs with the correct amp rating. They will all burn out or blink. These bulbs come with a lifetime warranty.

I thought I remembered from last Jan and Feb a few guys doing it. They replaced everything, and included the model numbers needed. I could be wrong though.
EDIT

Actually I found out where a guy did it last year https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=25415

He didn't go into too much detail about it, but I remember seeing pics of it on another thread. I'm just oo lazy to go find the other thread.
