Maybe 35 bucks in leds and resistors....But my time....it took a lot of time to learn this, now I could do it quickly. But with the right pics and step by step instructions you could do it quickly too.

$35 is pretty cheap for how nice it looks. I just didn't know how many hours u had if all the LED's were replaced.
If my stock cluster had a tranny temp ga., I might would have a hard decision betw. SS cluster & this. Then again, an SS cluster w/. blue LEDs.
Wonder if anyone has done that, or has pics?
I bet it'd look (.)(.)

The trans ga. is normally on the left. GM in their infinite wisdom wanted to save $, so they left the trans. temp off cluster face. But its set up for the gauge from factory. Various places can add it to cluster face & you're good to go.

Yea i know that but i like the look of the after market gauge in a spot like this and i happen to have a gauge laying around.

Also I wonder if its possible to wire a gauge in by tapping the correct pin on the cluster harness.

Test port on left side of transmission for thhe trans gauge
Fastnblu-I gave the NorthFace gauges to my buddy and I installed blue leds in his cluster also, I'll see if I can get a pic. They are close to the SS.

shitty pics. This is with just one 3mm LED in every hole, not 2 in each like mine. Obviously another LED in each hole would brighten it up and get rid of dead spots....I'm trying to get better pics from him in complete darkness.
Edit: hes gonna come over tomorrow, I'm gonna put more LEDs in there and get rid of the hotspots, and I'll post back up tomorrow evening. I should be able to make them look way better.
