lol, I didn't realize it may have been you that posted that, I thought it had the polarity shown on each socket because my first attempt was to use those wedge led's and you have to know the polarity on each one. My first attempt I got maybe like 5 of them right before I realized what was going on, but for running 2 series of lights, that right there should do it. keep up the modding.

So I was searching around and came across a RGB strip with controller and remote and from looking at the pic, the remote has the option for brightness or "Dimming". This will be nice for those that would like to adjust the brightness of the led. It is 26 bucks but it’s in cali, so it should arrive at your door within a few days. Also, the plus side is you get a 5m roll instead of 1m. That way you can do ALOT more with it if desired. I was thinking to do a strip for the floor light along with maybe the glove box. Only thing is it will be a pitta to get all that wired with them all being in different locations.

my questins is though, when you hook up a switched 12v power to the controler, do you still need to "power on" the LEds with the remote or do they power on when the key is turned to ACC?

Bumping this super old thread but it seems you're still around! I was wondering how you set the cluster up for testing? Specifically, which pins did you apply 12V and ground to in order to light them up? I'd love to test the LEDs on my cluster on my desk in my bedroom rather than awkwardly try/test/try/test in my drivers' seat.

I finished mine finally, it's so sweet!!! One problem though, i hooked it up to a wire in the cluster harness, turns out that wire only runs power to the P light, so when i put it in R, N, D, 2, or L the lights turn off lol. So i gotta find a different power source in the harness, i wanna keep it clean.
