Is this conversion possible?

Is converting the CL-P Gauge Cluster to the Type-S possible? I just like how the Gauge cluster in the type-s light up so white and bright. Instead of my POS CL-P one where it's so dim and i crank the knob thing all the way and it's still dim

The only ones I can find are these. They are not just the white faced ones from the CL-s. They are indiglo. You may be able to just get the gauges out of a CL-s and swap them but some of the features will be different.

I'm sure it will work, but there are some things that won't work. Here you go....

I dont it's possible, the VSA and the TCS lights dont match up and I hear there are alot of problems with the indiglo gauges making the needles stick.
Check out rbf351's cluster he replaced the bulbs with LED's

And properly placed diffusers to avoid hot spots like you see in that pic. Makes it very hard to do.

Damn that's nice. I was just telling a coworker tonight that's my number one gripe with the car, the dingy white looking backlighting. I love the backlighting the guy did on that site. It's especially nice if you like Blue.
