Glad you like them Brett. That cluster and power windows switch both look bad now compared to the new blue LEDs. LOL
@05Single needs to quit bullshitting and send me his stuff to do. Hell, he got LEDs in EVERYTHING on his damn Tahoe now EXCEPT for the actual dash switches. But I know being in igloo-land has a lot to do with it. Last time I did LED work for him (on his 05 Chevy single cab truck) it took almost a solid month for the damn package to get back to him. Damn snail mail...

Whos bullshitting?!!! .....ok maybe I am :oops:
Well I can't make up my mind on the guages. And I'm not sure if I wanna go white or blue now. (Leaning towards white)
Also for the record my brake lights are not led, so not everything is led on the tahoe :deal:

Why spend all that money on a platinum cluster? Just get the Platinum bezel and gauge overlay, and I can put that all on for you. Last cluster I did, the guy ordered a used (but MINT) Platinum gauge bezel from Digital Dash Solutions, and it only cost him $60. I'm not sure what the gauge overlay cost him though.

Priced it all out, needles, bezel & overlay are $155 give or take, the only reason I might just get it all done is because the Esky is my DD, I’ll keep that option open tho

Make your own. Did that on a previous truck. Sanded the orange off and used a blue (in your case red) marker in it's place.

What previous truck was this? Is sure wasn't a 03 or newer GM truck. The gauge needles on the 03+ clusters are solid orange. What I mean by that is the actual plastic is orange, not painted or dyed. Now on 02 and older, the needles are actually clear with orange paint on the back of them. Those needles can easily be cleared and dyed, painted, or even simply colored with a Sharpie.

I have a BUNCH of extra orange needles laying around. I can even cut one if half to show you that the orange does indeed go all the way through.

Went and filled up the Esky and took this shot at the Cadillac dealer that I’ve been meaning to take for months lol, once the weather is nicer and the trucks all clean I’m gonna go back and get some better pics
