ya its alot of work. im not guna do it until i get the patman cluster if he'll do it for me.

and the explorers have the clear needles that you can replace with our orange needles.

i know the years 97-00 have them by just looking on ebay. maybe newer. like so
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-...item3efd42cf54

and this 01 has a white face
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-FO...item2a052e4cfe

but if you cant buy a hole cluster to get em out of for less then 15 id say just go to a junkyard (my fav truck store lol)

eh, i cut out the filler piece way big so i have more room for error lol.
hasnt been too hard so far.

but then again, i used a 99 Lightning lower grille as the filler piece, so it was hella easy to cut out ha.


yeah im glad mine is clear
