Hi guys,
The pic of my dash with the blue lights truely does not do it much justice. It looks so much better in real life. The guages look neon blue. It looks so awesome. Keep in mind, I asked Vern to paint the backing plate white instead of puke green which is the way it comes. Also, the bulbs I used are made by Jamstraight. That company makes the best led's bulbs I have seen. And I have seen a lot. Autozone sells the amber 194's which I used for the front marker lights. They do not sell the blue or red 194's. I had to find them on Ebay ( of course they had them ). The sellers user name is dpcomceo and the blue led's are not cheap. They are 10.00 a piece. Fortunatly, you only need four for the dash lights. Keep in mind, those bulbs have pularity and only go in one way and forget about using the dimmer switch, led's are either on of off. Also, they use alot less current, so all four have to be in place for them to work correctly. Led's are suppose to last forever, so at least I will never have to deal with them again. I bought the red 194's for the rear marker lights and they work great at only 5.00 a piece. They make the best red 1157's for the tail lights as well, they are truely bright and I picked those up at Autozone.
Back to the cluster. I had GMC Paul send that brand new cluster directly to ILUVJUNK. I talked to Vern on the phone and he explained the whole manufacturing process to me. I told him I was going with blue lights and to please paint the backing plate white. This I know helped a lot.
I had a lot of money into this with the brand new cluster. I never met Vern or seen his work in person so I had a lot riding on trust. He did an awesome job you guys. You will not be dissapointed.
James
