nice!

I'd do it, but just don't want the hassle of tearing my cluster apart and getting the needles correct... heh...

haha that is funny corny.. oh well sorry.. but can i ask b/c i might buy this in the future, how bright are the lights at night... i like the bright look. the stock dash gauges are nice but the white is just to dull.. also how easy was the level of install..

No complaints in the brightness department. I can't really say if they're brighter than stock, but they're just fine for me.

Install wasn't too bad. What was a bitch, was getting the needles back in the right spot.

That's what would keep me from buying them.

yep same here./. on the site where you buy them, lol listen to this, the company who makes these offers an installation service for 35 more dollars. You take apart your your whole piece, ship it to them, they will do the install and ship it back. All u have to do it plug it back in.. The problem with this is, NO GAUGES when u need to drive to work lol.. i have driven a friends car where his spedo didnt work and it was not fun..

How do you pull the needles off? I tried to gently pull them off and couldn't, is there a trick or tool needed?

They send you a little tool to help pry/pop them off.

When you pull the needles off make sure the drive pins don't come off with them. The drive pins come outta the motors and your fucked! Buying a new dash cluster. Happened to my 01MCSS.
