Wow! Those look great!
If I was to use a blue bulb, which from what I've seen is the least brightest of all the available colors, I think that the brightness would not be so blinding. But as the needles are so dark now, the brightness would probably help out a lot.
This retrofit only lights up the needles? If so, they are probably on a seperate circuit than the rest of the gauges, which would allow me to dim them, & have the needles as bright as I need them to be, to be seen.
Do you have some detailed instructions &/or the parts needed to to do this? Or, do I have to send the cluster to you? Wiring is not my forté. I can do it, but as I am, I'm questioning myself all the way if it's right or not.
Appreciate the response!

Thank you SIR

Gauge face only
Needles only
Or both

If so, they are probably on a seperate circuit than the rest of the gauges, which would allow me to dim them, & have the needles as bright as I need them to be, to be seen.

Again, never had provisions for needles only. I offer the dimmer as an option.

Do you have some detailed instructions &/or the parts needed to to do this?

Negatory.

Or, do I have to send the cluster to you? Wiring is not my forté. I can do it, but as I am, I'm questioning myself all the way if it's right or not.

Yeah, I'd have to have it in-hand.
On the 94+ it's a helluva lot easier for me to retro' because I can test it from my truck, unlike the 93's.

Looks good Al! i like using factory OEM GM parts to modify trucks, always a cool touch, almost something you could look over, but see a second time.

Well, since this is my DD right now, I'll see if I can find another cluster (for a stickshift) and get it sent off to you. I'm leaning towards the just having the the needles done. $$$?
That cluster you posted IS really cool!

Thanks! I like subtle. I've modded so many things on my '97, but most people don't notice them till I point 'em out. A lot of the changes I've made are with modded factory parts.

It'd be ~$1.3m Canadian, shipping kills.

LOL if you're interested email me. You have the GMail, I also have TruckinAint4Sissies@Live dot com
