Hey everyone
 A few weeks back I installed a SpreeLED kit in blue into my guage cluster. Recently, I have found that the RPM gauge's needle has been flickering after running the car with the lights on for about 10 minutes. Then again today, after a run to the servo, the speedometer started flickering too. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it, so if anyone has had the same problem or knows what's wrong, would you please be able to chime in and help me out? It's not that big of a deal, but I have no doubt it would be distracting at night. Cheers and God bless, Ben |

If you go with white bulbs you will have dark spots and you will have to sand down the back of the cluster or you will have a greenish color added from the transparent part.

I actually did that already although i didn't want to remove the needles so i cut the faces to avoid having to calibrate.  Won't find the cuts unless you inspect closely, also replaced the double sided tape with stronger tape but with a pull tab for easy removal. On top of that i replaced ALL bulbs with white LED's.As for the issue, i agree, talk to Spree and see if he can do anything about it. Not necessarily his fault but i would think his supplier would warranty the product to an extent. |
