pocky told me that it uses 1mm LEDs. I'm not sure if i'm skilled to do that yet. If someone has a spare cluster i can give it a whirl though.
I was going to buy the one from smoky350 from his wrecked car, but i got laid off...

I mean the cluster is good looking enough. I didn't plan to do anything to the cluster, but if someone wants a DIY for the cluster i can try to do it.
smoky is asking 245 i think? check his FS thread.

Nice. I can't wait to see the finished product. Gotta figure out what sorts of colors I'll want for mine.

does your center vent LED light up a amberish color? mine does because of that refractor lens for the curve.
