sure. bring plenty of wire and electrical tape

i drive a lot at night, so the light bothers me, but if you're fine with it, no need to buy another part

Alright will do! And the light doesn't bother me.

Btw I noticed that the 4wd light doesn't come on. Do you have a pic of it light up in the SR5 cluster?

Your cluster looks nothing like mine. I am missing 4 little bulbs (there was no bulb holders there so I couldn't put bulbs in) I'm guessing that's where my 4x4 should be. Also fixed the cluster today, the speedo cable had fallen out of the back, so I plugged her in. Now it's all good!
