Well that was a chore. I bought some blue 194 bulbs from canadian tire (3 of em) and put those in. Should have probably left the job at that. I used red permanent marker to put red tips on all the needles. Okay that looks cool in the day time, but the light wont shine through them at night. Those first 2 things alone would have been awesome. BUT then I colored over the white writing in some areas with that red, again thinking it would shine through.. Mainly the "E" on the fuel gauge and the "H" on the thermo gauge. Meh. Should have just left it for all that work. What a chore to take out that cluster. Ill put pics up of it soon, but Im a sucker for STOCK ie I dont like any aftermarket stuff (inside anyhow) but I thought blue bulbs would look cool.. Anyone have any mods like this? As well, this is probably a stupid question, but will the cluster out of a S14 fit my S13??

Thanks for all who helped me with the cluster removal along the way too!
