hey is there any other way to take out the cluster cover than taking the two big bolts under the steering column? I can’t get the cover over the clumn cuz the switch to move the cjoumn up n down is in the way…

ok nvm, i ended up taking the two big bolts out lol the entire process was a serious mission…mainly due to the fact that it was such a bitch to take out and put back the cluster cover(panel with the hazard/rear wiper/cruise/headlight controls on it)…dunno if i wanna doi t all again lol…

and Jackal, are the B1 hybrid bulbs much brighter than stock? worth the upgrade? and did u end up swapping all the small bulbs as well to “white” to match it? lol

The bulbs aren’t much brighter than stock, but they are a little. They just look newer, more modern or whatever you want to call it… 😛 And they’re full-out blue, border-line purple-ish, they don’t come out white unless you buy the white ones!

I left the other smaller bulbs alone. The only side effect was a little fade from blue to white on the very bottom corners of the cluster. Doesn’t bother me!

hmm…your bulbs were “blue”? cuz I heard that due to the blue tint behind the gauges, “white” bulbs will come out looking blue~~…hmm but they do look more modern you say?..well i’m happy that I can see my clock at night haha
