OK so I'm new here and just got my car the other day and I started ripping stuff I didn't.like out and Modding it so I took a cavalier gauge cluster from an 03 with less kilometers and swapped.out my broken 04 sunfires out , but I found they lights where not working behind the gauge because some where blown. I was hoping that these might be screw in lights and there not so I had to UN solder all the lights even the display light that wasn't fun but it all works perfect and the mileage is stored in the car so the mileage never changed. I used three smd led strip lights in each strip and they turned out awesome.
this is the new cav gauge
take all bulbs except for the one under the highbeam indicator its blue already
these are the new led strip lights i put in place brighter than your standard 5mm lol they last longer to
put the leds that i soldered to them and ran them through exsisting holes and soldered them
after i soldered all the lights in this was my finished product
did the lights on my colorado awhile ago thought i could do the same to this one and i did works great and all the lights dim and brighten
