I was going to post that it was doable and give you a link on how to do it and noticed that you already did it... but I can't see your images...

This work?

looks Bad A! Was this with the soldering technique? I want to do that with the 08 white 3 dr Im getting but Im not to comfortable with that technique just yet. If you could can you post which LEDs you used, what size, type, and how many there were in the project? That would be greatly appreciated! But congrats on the end product, looks phenomenal.

*edit*
And please post how you changed the odometer! Im not sure if its an LED itself or if its some sort of computer generated thing haha

For the LED, I use this part! 2.5mm per 3.5mm
Use a large angle lighting.

I propose that you can pratice on an other cluster for the soldering. My red cluster are a test, My real cluster are always original and I will change the color my original. This test cluster will be in sell when my original cluster will be done!

hmm, i love the orange lighting. I've seen pictures of everyone else's white/blue clusters and I'm terribly glad mine didn't come that way.

Mine came with orange. At least it matches the radio and the knobs at the bottom. My (ex)girlfriend's '08 came with a white cluster and green radio and knobs. The mismatch drove me crazy.

Good job OP. I'd want to do red for the cluster and white for the clock and odometer.
