Custom guage face, of course (pics) :)
Well, I finally finished installing the custom guage overlay I had made so long ago. This mod is fairly easy to do, just take your time removing the factory gauge overlay. It's usually bonded with a automovitve grade adhesive. Most of the guage panel will remove easily if you try take it off in small sections. You will have to carefully remove the needles and remember where your settings are before you remove the 4 smaller needles After removing everything the cluster received a good cleaning with mild detergent and damp rag. I even did a 3 step plastic polish process to the gauge bezel and lens using NOVUS plastic polish kit. NOVUS is great stuff if your in need of polishing a clear lens/bezel. Re-assembled everything and took some pics !

I have not had a chance to re-install in the car, so no idea how the lighting will look. The quality of the product is excellent. I will be installing my MBA polished bezel overlay this weekend and take some pics
PM me with any questions you have on the vendor who supplied me with this product. I don't want to make the mods mad by putting a name on the forum that does not pay for advertising space.

Grant, sorry about not getting back to you. I will have some new updates with pictures of the guages lit-up. I have actually converted the entire guage cluster to LED's (all the needles, background and the small information lights) I can't believe how many LED's are required to completely convert a 93-97 firbird guage cluster. (7) 194's and (14) micro led's for all the small info lights. I have also found a solution to plug & play LED's for the whole cluster. It has taken a long time to track down all the right twist sockets so all of the lights can be replaced on the back of the cluster with LED's. I will do a complete write-up on the install with pics and info on the items needed to convert. I think this MOD has been a thorn in a lot of 93-97 F-body firebird guys/gals trying to convert the cluster to all LED's. I will definitely say that in person the LED lighting looks frickin sick on this cluster. I have also added my polished MBA bezel to the cluster since last time. I will have pics up in a week or two
I will also be doing a write-up in the future on replacing all of the Exterior lighting to LED's on a 93-97 Firebird. I just finished all of the exterior locations with LED's and it looks very good. All the brakes lights, running ligts, front & rear markers, front turn-signals, license plate light and third eye brake lamp. Everything is LED now My buddy was following me on the street when I did a test drive with the new LED's and he said the lighting looked excellent. I'm really happy that I finally finished the nightmare project of having Full LED's and Full HID lighting on my WS6 T/A.
