Modified gauge cluster
It’s almost done. I still have to do a few small things but everything works for the most part.
I think the fuel gauge is reading way lower than it should, and I have to touch up some of the paint I scratched while installing it.
Overall I’m extremely happy with how it turned out.
I was going to use plexiglass as the backing but it was too hard to cut with my barbaric tools. So I ended up cutting a piece out of the plastic storage tub that used to be behind the seat in my Ram, cut it to shape, bought a $12 amazon hole saw kit for the holes, then JB welded it in.
I ended up relocating the light/wiper switch to just below the cluster.
For the blinker indicators, I added two small bulbs into the now useless PRND21 area. Also wired the back lighting bulb for the PRND21 as the high beam indicator.
