Guages like new tl?

God I drove a new tl and I love the guages at night. The indiglo is sooooo nice I wish my cl-s had guages like this. Also, the tsx's have these guages. Prolly gonna have the cl-s for just a few years and hopefully acura will come out with a new 2 door or a spotier tl-s if I want a 4 door

take the cluster out after you visit automotiveleds.com. They sell kits that fit right in

Expect at least 30-45 minutes per light to saulder. to do the whole dash 15-20 hours of solid work and trial and error.

I've took the entire dash off before and it doesn't look like it would take that long to saulder those bulbs in.

I guess patience is a real vurtue when doing this mod.

well not to literally saulder it but to saulder, see if there is a hotspot, resaulder if needed.

Plus the bulbs dont always work, making it necessary to resaulder as well.
