Is it possible to get just the circuit board. I found out today mine is done. My housing was in bad shape and I got a good used one. When I transfered over the parts the high beem bulb section fell apart and is corroded. Now when I turn the dimmer switch it will turn the oil light on oand off. I also have no lights for the cluster again. So is the board possible or just get a whole new(used) cluster? I have seen them for $100.

either way is OK. I have done both, the one thing that happened was my coolant sensor read higher when I replaced the whole cluster. Fortunatley had a spare , replaced and all was good with the universe.

If you get a cluster, keep all the spare parts you could need them later.

The foil isn't available new as far as I know, from any of the vendors.

I had circuit issues last year, and wound up buying a replacement used cluster that had a foil in really good shape. Eventually we will all have foils held together by wires and solder points.

I found just the foil in the for sale section. I have to email Joe back and tell him I want it.
