Okay so I'm trying to make the "///M" light up on my cluster. I already tried to take off the backing but that didnt turn out so well. Looks all faded and what not. Does anyone know where I could find a small plastic transparent "///M" piece that would fit in the little square on the 6 cyl clusters? Or have any suggestions that I can go on?
Thanks. __________________

There was a guy selling them on bf.c. I bought one from him, love it. You can't get the stock one to light because of the way it's made. The backing behind the //M is completely opaque. __________________

Yeah, I'm not totally sold either. Don't like the fact that the colors aren't right. I put a lot of work into my cluster to get the gauges to light up blue. I'll probably do the same to my M cluster when I install the rings. As for making the M light up, meh...  | | | | | 08-03-2009, 07:03 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

As for making the M light up, meh... | you can probably use the same housing part, the clear plastic that you drilled the LEDs into. i think those are the same fitment. you should do that and keep the needles lit up red. as for the ///M thing. ill think of something. maybe just make something out of some transparent plasitcs in the colors and use a white light instead of an amber one. we'll see. i'll probably think of something when im bored. right now im tightening up my e-brake. __________________
