Alright everyone, I finally did it, and I am pleased with the results, so here it is: In this photo, I had the lights dimmed at the lowest setting to reduce light glare for viewing purposes, so it's pretty vibrant in person. I opted for green for the clock and trip odometer because those bulbs didn't come in purple. I think green and purple look good together, and I matched my double din color scheme (green background screen and purple buttons) to match. HVAC controls and gear shifter are next, and will go green with those. I can't believe how clear the cluster clock is! LOL I did the idiot lights, but I had to switch some of them back to their original bulbs. The low gas light, OD Off light, brake light, and one other (ABS I think) would stay on after starting the engine, although some would either be dim, or flicker a bit. The low gas would be really dim, and would flicker a bit, yet with the stock bulb it wouldn't light at all. (I really don't care that much since there's a fuel gauge to begin with anyways) My Tire Carrier light doesn't work at all, with either bulb when it is ajar. I'm not too broken up over some of the idiot lights not working with LEDs as that was more of a bonus objective for me anyways, but I'm dumbfounded. Maybe because the cluster is nearly 30 years old, and it's not working like it used to? Maybe not enough power is being used up due to the low drawing power of LEDs? I don't know. My only gripe is I wish Nissan would've put 1 or 2 more illumination light bulbs on the bottom or sides, since the temp and gas needles are noticeably dimmer. Seems really odd that all of the illumination lights just run along near the top of the cluster.
