Hey, my Pm box stays clean, i am a neat freak...lol.


Anyway, i have had a lot of people ask me what MY setup looks like. well, it changes from day to day. lol. I have a cluster that i used to experiment with so it goes in a lot, but my daily driver cluster is lit with amber #24's and a set of aluminum SMD needle's. this would be considered MY cluster since it stays in the most. it is also what came with the car so it has the correct mileage.

I run a Blaupunkt Casablanca head unit (personal choice for the most crisp and loud sound). It has a few colors in it so i can get away with anything. I have had green in it for a while since i have been concentrating on the cathode conversion (the ONLY place i would personally run cathodes for about 100 reasons). I threw the bulbs in there and never even smoothed the color out, so really it's not so hot. I havent felt the need to fix it since it is getting yanked out this week anyway.

Hey O.L.T are those SMD needles in the last post you made? I want that exact same setup done to my cluster so when I get my beater running again I can send out my cluster. How much down time should I expect 9 days?

Those are a work of art! Very beautiful.

How about a violet / purple color? Is that feasable and look good?


I have a question for the #24 bulb for the instrument cluster. I took it out and the #24 bulbs does not fit in the 8 green sockets. The factory bulbs were smaller than the #24. The base of the 24 fit but the bulb is too big to let the 24 bulb to fit in the socket all the way.

My car is a 93 SC400.
