hey scott go give your buddy a swift kick and tell him to hurry the whole org is waitin on him lol
Because the lamps are surface-mounted to the front of the circuit board, which is inside the cluster.
I already told everyone in my previous post what they're going to experience, because I've already done it. Several times.
There isn't a way to do it without breaking it, sorry guys. It just can't be done. If you think you're going to miraculously discover something I didn't.... go for it. I wish you all the luck in the world.

theres no harm in trying...just like how i figured out how to remove the hvac bulbs without busting them...i MIGHT find a "trick" to get the needles off without breaking them...and if not maybe still figure out a differnt solution...it seems that enough people on here want the mod to at least try...to mad no one has an extra cluster ..seems like SOMEONE would
i saw a 00 cluster in the classifieds earlier
How much would an 00 cluster normally cost from a junker???
I gotta drive past a yard to get to my dads house anyways, and can just stop by and see if they have one.
i usually get pricing around here for them to be $15 - $30. but that's just here. could be different near you.

5 seconds to find another street...
Everythings more expensive in Canada, eh?
Not bad.... Ill try and remember when i go over saturday.
I dont need a WORKING cluster..thats why i dont buy from the classifieds...i can use a broken cluster just as well...all i need to do is figure out a way to get the needles off
my friend has a 99 fire that im working on. i want to change the colors out on the cluster. we are doing led but i want to know the different colors i can go with because of that red film. i hear blue will make it kinda purple. what color would i use if i wanted to make the cluster pink. would a pink led show thru pink or more of a red. does anyone have a list of colors i can do?
see im really starting to hate these clusters. my honda is so much easier lol.
i get what your saying about the pink/red. hmm this may just be a try and error. guess ill order up my pink leds and go from there
if you mix purple and red it makes hot pink..........
and what kind of bulb goes into the HVAC i know its a 74 but what kind???
and is there anyway to use the stock sockets without buying new ones or is it out of the question ???

I've had them apart, and I've done stuff to the inside of the clusters. The only way to do this without messing up anything is to keep turning the needles as you pull up on them slowly... you just keep turning them as you pull...

so your saying if i got UV leds and put them behind the sunfire gauges i would get pink? if so shes gonna love it and i need to get some ordered. please let me know
Well i had black light neons and in the rest of the car i had red lights and where they met in the middle was hot pink.... so i had a few female friends who wants me to do a pink light display for their amps... so i took a black light neon and a red neon placed them side by side and then put an etched piece of plexiglass over it and it would light up hot pink... in the other car i done the same out from under seats and the light came out hot pink........
as far as your question, i think yes it would light up hot pink... but i can't say for sure because i done it with neons not led's... but the uv led's i used to have where bright as all get out and they would make hot pink as well but that is when they mixed with the red from the neons... but they were streetglow license plate led's so they was bright as @!#$
i have a question about the LEDS can you use the roller on the side of the steering wheel to dim the lights? and i have a 96 2.2 cavalier and it doesn't have a tech in it so i'm looking to put a 96 z24 cavalier cluster in it but is it a direct swap?
so if its a direct swap do you guys know of someone with z24 cavalier cluster for sale?
thanks i have been looking for one for a while
Is it possible to remove the red film on the Sunfire guages? Like is it just a peice of colored translucent plastic or is it an actual film stuck on there? I hate my red ones with a passion (they don't match at all) and would love to do a different color.
