Gauge overlay install..............but I have a problem!!!!
Gauge overlay install..............but I have a problem!!!! Ok, I bought the Regency gauge overlay from CentexSS and it's AWESOME!!!! Thanks Jimmy!!
BUT I think I have a few lights out in the dash. Can anyone tell me how many are suppose to be lit??
Look at the RIGHT side of the speedo, its pretty dim compared to the far left(tach side). I'm sorry this pic kinda sucks, but the gas gauge(far right) is really dim.
Here's a pic of the bulbs without the gauges on. In the center(speedo) theres suppose to be 4 bulbs plus the blue LED, but I have only 1 bulb lit! And now the bulb on the gas side is not working, but in this this pic it is.

It looks like you have six (6) bulbs total that are out:
Find someone who's good at SMT soldering to remove them and pray you can find a direct replacement online. I'd personally replace all twelve (12).
These kind of issues are generally replaced as a whole when processed under warranty at the dealership.
- The top left one (1) for your tachometer
- And the three (3) you mentioned above your speedometer
- Two (2) below your fuel and temperature gauge

I think you're right about the ones I missed!
I guess I didn't pay attention to them cause I noticed the middle ones right away.
I'm gonna call the dealership in the morning and get a quote.

Save some money and check eBay or get the part number and head over to monsterpartsonline.com.

I think I'm gonna send my cluster off to someone to put in some LED's, it'll run me around the same price as that cluster. Thankfully my Impala is not my DD anymore so I can be without it for a while.
Also, non-SS clusters have tachometers calibrated for 6-cylinder engines, so your tach will be off quite a bit if you tried to use one out of an 3.5 or 3.9 car.
I used to be under the assumption that these things needed to be calibrated/programmed, but someone recently proved me wrong.
This individual installed a GXP cluster (160 max) into his Canadian (speedometer up to 220) Grand Prix GT (3800 supercharged).
It was plug and play and everything lined up as it should.
Are you sure about that?
