Some of you might remember my blue LED mod a while back where I swapped all of my orange interior lighting to blue LED's. Well I've sinced swapped my engine and as a result am now running an M3 instrument cluster. So, I have the infamous "Blue" OBDII 4cyl cluster that many people drooled over which I'm now offering for sale! It's pre-wired with one of the coolest mods EVER!!! During the day, it's stunning and beautiful with chrome gauge rings. At night however, a spectacular hue of cool blue LED's illuminate your gauges resulting in pure sex! I'm serious, you'll find yourself looking for excuses to drive at night. The blue is a soft, easy on the eyes tint, similar to that found in Volkswagens. The best part, it looks completely stock! Here's your chance to stand out without standing out! This cluster is from my '97 318ti sport. It may or may not work in '95 models, I'm not certain as they are OBDI.

It last read 14x,000 miles when removed, therefore it would be best for someone with higher mileage so you can recalibrate it with the cluster test function to adapt to your car's current mileage and not have the manipulation dot illuminated. If you install this in a car with less mileage, it'll take on the higher of the two. If you put it in a car with higher mileage, it'll take on the higher of the two as well, but the mileage will be correct for your car. Either way, the manipulation dot will remain illuminated until you reset it with the cluster test function at which time it will take on the higher of the two mileages. I will find and post the cluster test process(no tools required) however I do not want this to become a discussion thread.

Unfortunately I only have a couple pics of it illuminated since I no longer have a means to hook it up(my car is undergoing a motor swap and there is no battery/wiring installed). Neither of these pics accurately depicts the color, it's a darker shade of blue than was captured by my camera and it's not blotchy. It's one solid/uniform color, you'll have to take my word on it but I'm positive that you'll be pleased

Anyway, heres the pics:
