Tackled the clocks yet?

Nope

I opened up the cluster a few week's back with the intention of "replacing" the idiot lights, aswell as replacing the speedo cable a few days ago.

I don't want to ever open up or take the cluster out again haha.

A side question, do you use standard 1.5w cluster bulb ? I'm thinking about change them to 2w cos the Mk2 cluster light is absolute crap. just wonder if it'll cause any issues.

I used these little 1.2W bulbs from Jaycar

12V Mini Lamps - Large - Jaycar Electronics

I havn't changed any of the cluster bulbs, but the problem I found is how much heat the bulbs can put out.
Even with tiny little 1.2w bulbs, the switch's feel noticabley warm at night.

Drop into Jaycar and ask if you can play around with various bulb's ect, I spent 30minute's or so just mucking around in store haha
