Gauge cluster light replacement

ExciteBike · 08-29-2008, 09:40 PM

So I'm tired of looking at the ugly orangish color that lights up the tach and speedo on my 6th gen. I saw where some people changed out the gauge cluster lights to a blue color which looks pretty damn good. Has anyone out there performed that mod their self. And if so how does one go about doing that mod.

I was kind of wondering about the difficulty level myself but for a 5th gen as one of my tach lights is out so the right side of the tach isn't lit up. I don't mind the colors, but as far as if it's worth the headache to take it all apart is another question...

anyone taken the dash all the way apart to change bulbs?

difficulty level? time involved?

Yeah I think it would be a headache doing it myself. I found in previous threads a site called bluegauges.com all i have to do is remove the cluster and send it to them and for $60 they do the work. I might give that a try.
