Yes, I wish I would have thought of that. I actually found one at the yard today that has the black surround and it is 1000 times better..
Unless you have a silver thing going on inside the cab that is..

You can always take the clear front off and paint that trim piece. I painted mine gray & it really sets off the cluster.



Doing your new one in black should be even easier.

Not a bad Idea Terry. I still have some blue paint left over ha. And those lights are green which will work out perfectly.

If you need one, I've got plenty of spare good shape/no scratch ones. Pay for shipping + $5 and I'll shoot one your way.

Thanks for the offer Shane but I'll go ahead and take mine off for now and paint it black. Im going to paint the outside part of the dash blue!!! Also does anyone know what size star it is to get that plastic clear cover off?

Ok I'm dumb founded. Am I installing them wrong? I have half of the cluster working and the other half isn't working. Does anyone have any pictures on how the leds sit in the little sockets?
