    Got the overlays installed and functional. Still need to button the interior back up. That'll come after my new steering wheel gets in. The overlays are wired to switch power to the parking lights (brown at switch) and grounded to a factory location under the dash.

    All in all its a good product but the fitment is decent at best. I had to grind out the dish of each gauge to accommodate the unfortunately positioned connector. Also, the overlay came with no adhesive backing! I had to use some 3m super 77 and wait for it to get tacky to position the overlay. I then hit it with the heat gun to set up.

    A big improvement in terms of visibility. A step in the right direction. What do you think?

                  It needed it badly. Next I'm going to swap led's into the kick panel lighting and fab up a panel to replace the dome light.

                  These are good for replacing the old 194 bulbs.
