possible. thanks

That's very good to know. I'm glad I didn't buy it when I first wanted it.

btw are the cluster bulbs like the headlight bulbs where you're not supposed to touch them with your bare fingers?

I took apart the cluster earlier and saw that the stock bulbs had gel covers on them but the covers were blue and that looked odd to me because when you turn the lights on there is no blue light in the cluster.. any ideas why that is?

i guess it's because of the yellow film. so somehow the blue bulb + yellow film = the turquoise color that we see.

It is like that cause the incadesent light gives off a red color which cancels out some of the blue from the gels. Thats why you want a deep blue gel so that the blue will overtake the red but in doing this, What will happen is the blue is so dark it dimms the light output.

Tomorrow i'll try to see if its properly locked in place but if it is damaged does anyone know where i can get a new one? or if someone has a spare one sitting around ?
