you'd have to make it so the cluster is lit any time the vehicle is running. It's not terribly hard to do but any "smoking" you'd do would have to be mild. I would suggest using a piece of tint, maybe 50% or so.

i put 20% tint on my cluster peice and it worked fine, it was hard to see in day time, but at night with the lights on it was great, you could see the guages with ease, and when the car was off it looked sleeker, and simpler. i sold that car, and got another one, and i'll be doing the same thing to this one aswell i loved the look of it.

i bought some window tint from advanced auto and did mine in my red firebird. the light shined through fine, even with the brigness turned down, and it was with 20% tint.

i havent looked at the pinouts of the harness but if u supply 12v key on voltage to the cluster alone and bypass the factory illumination then u would have lights all day... but i havent looked at the diagrams yet but i bet it could be done................. or better yet a reverse indaglo gauge overlay..
