CarGuy89, the led install was a little tricky with polarity issues its not straight forward like halogen these leds work in a series so it to some trail and error about 4 to 5 hours total with break down time. We figure the nav screen will take about 7 hours.

I really like the bulb switch. I feel it accentuates the cluster lighting. What did you do with the shifter bulb/buttons? LED's?

mmzbrwan, im pretty sure you can i think it would be a cluster to pull apart the ls430 cluster but since my theme is all white i wont be messing with anything inside the cluster
