They came out extremely easy. I used a flat screwdriver to hook them out, and to scrape the excess tape off. I don't know if it was because they were cold and just weren't really sticky, or the 10 year old tape just isn't that strong anymore haha.

Thanks, haha. I hope to get at least another 100k out of it. I'd like for it to not give me any trouble the summer, so I can pick up a 2-wheeled toy

Blue LED's? Now I want to try that eventually. Still haven't done anything with that canadian cluster to see if I can modify the overlays.

Nope, white. haha. When I first put them in, only 3 of 5 were in the right way. The two outside ones were backwards. After I fixed them, they came out pure white, while the other 3 had a blueish tint to them. It was a surprise that they came out blue, and I'm more than happy with it. It came out much better than expected. Even the needles which were orange before, came out light blue.

I'd like to see how well a base model regal gauge cluster with the tach would work in the century.. if the tach would be functional or not. I'm planning on making a trip to a U-pull it type yard that I found today soon. I might see how much I can get one for, if they have any.

What were you planning on doing with the overlays?

Hybrid the warning circles. Might have to find a parted out car on the other forum for that cluster. Finding local ones was not easy. I ended up with an extra Century one cause it's in km/h.
