Temporary have the dash together with a old cluster dash I had. Waiting on the one I'm gonna use to dry. This was with the incandescent bulbs also. I did a mod to the cluster also to use pipe foam cover for the lens pads and it blocks off the light shining places it doesn't need to.

I used the GM converter my dad gave me to light it up.

yea I had bleed over from the gas gauge to the rt turn signal on mine, but being the 3 gauge cluster it was a little easier for me just to isolate that one side. I used some contact cement and a little bit of the same color green felt as the paint on the inside of the cluster.... worked out great so far. Ill post mine buttoned up when I get there.

168 bulbs are a little brighter than the 194 bulbs.

Here it is all done. The bulbs showed up right after I posted the other pictures.

I think it turned out great though. Video and pictures. Look at the last one. It where I placed the pipe wrap to cushion the lens and block off the light bleeding through.
