Escalade Vs Denali Vs Tahoe Cluster

[mattt]

I'm seeing 12 but I will check a cluster that I have to verify.

I think that might be a blue one over on the far left. I was counting the circled ones and the two turn signals.

Ok, Saturday night I ordered the cube LED's needed for this conversion.

I pulled back the overlay on a cluster I have, and yes there are 12 of them. That one on the top left appears to be the high beam indicator light.

Thank you, I was wondering what that lone one out in left field was.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

So I ordered from GM Gauge repair, their 5mm WHITE LED cubes and replaced them tonight. I can't say that I am pleased by any stretch of the imagination.

This picture I took, makes it look amazing. Trust me it's not and I can't get the phone to adjust to take it as the human eye sees it. I WISH that it were this bright (they're almost the same brightness as the stock bulbs), the needles this radiant, and not as blue as it turned out.

I may investigate gague face overlays without the blue pigmentation on the backside as their simply isn't a ton of cube LED options;

Here is my stock one. Again, the camera makes it look amazing. It really isn't like this. If it were, I wouldn't have changed them. However, you CAN see the kelvin (coloring) difference. I don't want blue'ish. I want white in my trucks. Like I want warm red in my Pontiac's...

Can the needles on the Denali cluster be painted, or will it somehow effect the lighting? I like the cluster, but not the white needles on white gauges.

You can buy red needles.

Or just use the regular HD truck cluster which is basically the same as the Denali cluster but with regular lighting color and black background. You should be able to swap needles from a standard or HD cluster too if you wanted the other features of the Denali cluster.

Denali cluster rebuilt and installed.

Gaugewerx ,where I had mine done , has a lifetime warranty. Too late now but in the future and for others here.

Recently learned there are clusters without steering wheel control DIC. Looks like it can be enabled with a tech 2 but still a pain in the ass.

Take a look at USSpeedo.com.
I just replaced my lens and gauge face to the Escalade Style and added carbon fiber needles. Give them a call and tell them what you want. They are awesome!

A couple of my gauges aren’t working and my tech said he would have to replace the instrument panel. Thinking about replacing it with this one that claims to be from an 03-04 Yukon.

Looks to be an aftermarket overlay. Does look good tho.

Here is the best of both worlds IMO.....Denali cluster with Esky Platinum trim rings

So been thru this whole thread, and this is the only cluster that resembles what I have.. Does this mean I have a Escalade Platinum?
