depends on your point of view- does your display cause you consternation, apoplexy or acid stomach?

Hey Yakob, would you mind linking the ebay product which you are talking about? I cant find the original information.

Hmm, sounds good. However, I would imagine the installation would be a bit fiddly. If you were looking to colour match the lights with an after market radio I think it would be worthwhile.
However to do it properly you'ld also want to change the colour of all of the other iluminated parts too. Personally I don't have a problem with the green, it is very easy to see, although the orange and red in my parents cars does look better.

Sounds good, would definently match a lot better. I would want the kit to come with some fairly detailed instructions as I'd want to know what I'm was doing when I take the instruments.
Good luck with it.

The article in their ad makes it look fairly easy to install them as they appear to just be replacements for the original globes. I've seen people installing other kits where its a fairly intensive job.

I did take photos once, if i get time i'll take a new lot.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I pulled the cluster in one of my Skylines apart once and the hardest bit was making sure everything lined up properly when you go to put it back together, but a bit of patience and time saw it get done

I've purchased the kit, and installed it...
Installation is straightforward, (it only requires removing the dash cover, unscrewing the plastic protective gauge cover, removing the various cables, and then simply plugging in the various bulbs)..
I'm happy with the appearance and quality of the kit, and would certainly recommend it..

Which kit did you end up buying? There are numerous for sale in ebay.
Does it produce hotspots (or bright spots) from where the globe is located?

I purchased the ZPE dash kit, and from memory, it was about $25 AUD delivered. There are some slight bright spots, but nothing too prominent..
