I could have swore someone had said the led's dim just like the stock dash lights do. Your's didn't dim before the led's either?

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!

Now I wonder if this is what he's talking about? Bonus points if you can name the movie.
