I had my cluster and heater unit redone by O.L.T and it turned out AWESOME. I think it completely refreshed the look of the dash. I had bright white done with green needles to match my greddy gauges.
I have the motor out of the car so the battery is disconnected, but I'll try to hook it up so I can get some pictures posted.

those little LED bulbs you can buy online and plug into the dash are nasty. I would not recommend spending money on those dingy little units. If you're going to do it, do it with class.

I did the SMD LED blood red needles and 32 backlight in white. I love it, cept..it's still too dim! OLT I need another upgrade! Maybe 64 backlight this time?

smd led needles - $200 (I got it for $150 gb price)
32 white backlight - $200
climate control - $60-$70?

you're the first person to say the 32 wasn't enough, what's your vision 60/60?

PD, cathode systems function at hundreds of volts, rather than 12. Not a very compatible system.
