How easy was it to do your cluster?
What DIY are you following?
Where did you get the LED's?

You do not have to buy yellow lenses.
You can get Yellow Vinyl Tint.
It's like $5 off of ebay, looks really good too!

DIY for cluster and climate control. The cluster is very easy to do. I did mine in hyper white.

I think it just looks weird like that because the lenses are not on them.

It was easy to change the cluster lights. Its just a few screws and #194 bulbs and #74 bulbs. Yeah about the fogs, it was me just being bored and trying to see how they looked. Now about my lenses, they are just too weathered and old. So new ones are very much needed.

I heard the only way is to cut them open with a dremel.
Not worth it in my opinion because you basically have to destroy your lights and epoxy them back together....
