I just got an email from GoWesty that the new and improved printed circuit board replacement kits are available and now there is no core charge .....

http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=24189&category_id=&category_parent_id=


Looks like a good set up did anyone ever install the original one? Any thoughts ?
I don't think there is really another option out there for this....

No group discounts right now but if your on the mailing list they will be sending out a discount this week that can be used on this product.

Just read and follow the included directions and its easy. They really did a good job with this one. I would NOT reccommend permanantly splicing the harness into yours like the end of the directions opt however. That is one thing i dont know why they suggested. They call it "optional" but its a terrible idea... Confused

Also, when the leds are in place correctly, You will hear and feel them SNAP into place. They take a little force to snap into their sockets.

I have seen the stock plug and the connectors inside cause issues because they are old/damaged. I guess this way you can do away with that plug if it is a problem.

Ive been trying to find the part numbers for those terminals. Wonder if anyone else has. Permanantly splicing it means you cant remove it for maitenance and i dont like that idea

Can't you just unplug the harness from the circuit board?

I contacted one of the major suppliers, even sending a couple of terminals, and the plastic connector. I was informed that they were nowhere to be had. I also asked Kyle who does the harnesses, to no avail. If you do find them, spread the word: that would allow new harnesses in a few places that is impossible today.

Went just fine. Thanks for the advice on seating the LEDs. I misread and thought you meant they needed to "click" into the cluster piece, but when I figured out they needed to seat on the circuit board, all went smooth after that. Instructions are good.

Now I need to find the heart to toss my old printed circuit board. I definitely continued to destroy it when I took it off. Rolling Eyes

If i had the part number that was on the connector, i could probably find the terminals somewhere. I have been able to get terminals and connectors that people say are no longer made in the past. Even ones that Kyle doesnt have.
