Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild

I didn't know the civvy harness would plug in and work. Some guy at steel soldiers put a civilian cluster in his truck and claimed he had to wire each gauge individually to make it work. So I'm thinking if I have to go that far with it I'll use better gauges. I forgot to mention, I did give the inside of the cluster several coats of gloss white and of course used red bulbs for all the lights and put one in the heater controls too. I didn't use LED's though, I wanted to try regular 194's first. Sometimes I see clusters w/LED's that are too bright and of course the dimmer doesn't work on them. There was a thread here where a guy found a set of LED lights that he said put out a nice appropriate amount of light without being too much but of course I didn't bookmark it. I'll check out your thread again, but how do you like the light output?
