I like them a lot and love to have them in my van... but I am scared to remove the instrument cluster to install the plasma gauges... Why? because I still have the blue ribbon in there and everything's working... so once I open it I may need to replace the blue foil which will cost about $200.00 on the top of the plasma gauges... So as it is now I leave it alone. Thanks for the info. On Tue, Sep 14, 2021 at 10:04 AM kenneth wilford <kenwilfy@gmail.com> wrote: > Bruce, LED bulbs must be installed a certain way to work.
