I just installed this in my truck! Looks real nice and I think it's a cool upgrade to the dash. It took less than an hour to install and comes with very good instructions with pictures. And a tool to remove your indicator needles is included. One picture during the day and another at night. The night pic may be hard to see but the numbers and lines are blue as well as the DIC digits and turn signal indicators.

Nice, I like it, but not something I'd do to my truck as I think the flames make it harder to quickly see the gauges in the dark.
Nice install.

Thanks Andrew! The needles get a little lost in the flames at night, but I've just had to learn to look at the needle points to read them.

Great job! What's the cost, if you don't mind me asking?

$139 including shipping! The kit comes with Dash Insert, bed lamp, headlight, A/C panel, and Passenger Air Bag On/Off Switch covers. I only installed the Headlight cover and dash insert. I'll probably install the bedlamp cover at a later date. All these covers switch the normal white to blue illumination. I got the kit from Stylin' Concepts (http://www.stylinconcepts.com) in Ohio. Their website is pretty cool in that when you first get there it asks what type of vehicle you have and then from then on you only see parts for your vehicle. Pretty cool!!!

One of these days I need to learn how you guys insert the "Quote"; sure would be easier......
The cost sounds very reasonable! Guess I'll head over to that site and check it out! Thanks for the link!

Did you have to reseal the cluster I heard a one time thing now days and it's was a PIA. Got any pics of the install for us?

Hey dozer! No reseal needed. The clear cover has snaps in 5 places to hold it on the cluster. Once that is off, you use the provided tool to remove the needles. OEM cluster face is just slid over little tabs to hold it in place. It is not sealed because everything below it is encased in a clear plastic. Then all you do is peel and stick the new face on taking care to make sure it slides over the tabs and that the holes are lined up. Then re-install! And...it's very reversable as nothing is permanently glued in place.
Like I said above...the directions are very vivid and come with pictures. It took me an hour to do. It's very easy!!!:cool: I'll have to remember next time I do a project like that to photograph it so I can post it on here like the others do! Sorry I didn't...I was just very eager to get it in there!:lol:

I've had those on my last two trucks, they're awesome. I get a lot of great comments about them. Kinda sucks trying to see them at dusk though. Day and Night are fine, in-between not so good.
