Pretty much. I will end up wiring into headlight/dimmer switch once fully completed with all other mods, and also I need a new dimmer switch was is being shipped to me, so waiting on that before wiring into automatic. But yes for now, it's all manual, but will be automatic in final completition. Just get into back of dimmer switch and wire in through that. Is what I will end up doing, or going to fuse panel. Will figure it out once switch arrives. Easy peasy though

That is cool as hell! Nice work.

I'd rather have that than an esky cluster cuz no one else has it.

Great job!

Ya, I painted my middles of the needles today, and am trying to figure out which color to go with for the needles. Also, I need to email that seller, not sure if that is flourescent glow paint or not. Do you know?? Couple other sellers on Ebay have needle paint that's flourescent, so... But the guy you have listed has different colors which are nice.

I am thinking Blue of course. But with the indiglo it might not look right, or show to well. So.. Maybe Red, Silver, Black..Kinda up in the air right now on this, cause I need to get it done ASAP. Thinking Red needles, with red LEDs in the back might blend ok.

Any opinions on needle colors everyone?? The needles will determine what LED color I use inside the cluster, they won't shine through everywhere, only thru the middle of the needles!!! Again, everyone will have there own opinion, but please look at overall theme of the gauge cluster and go from there!!!! Don't like the orange, it doesn't go with the white,blue,silver.

it seems that the needle paint would glow when the lights are on, otherwise you could use regular paint, but probably should contact seller, i think silver or blue would look good.
