You might not have performance issues because the tolerences for reflector housings are large. The issue you will see with the cheap $30 kits is when it is time to intall them in a projector. Hot spot out of place, alignment issues, etc.Mounce said:
Yeah I know the bulbs are shit for projectors, you know I already figured that one out and upgraded.dmanns67 said:You might not have performance issues because the tolerences for reflector housings are large.

Quality over quantity, but for some reason people like to spend as much money on multiple cheap (insert part) as it would cost to buy one quality part. Makes sense to me

I did change the position of the tach, but once I hooked it back up the needle jumped to around the 500 tick mark before even turning the key into the on position. So I guess I gotta turn all these needles a lot farther??Blckshdw said:It helps if you have Torque, a Scangauge, or something else that tells you the same data. When I first did my cluster mods, most of my needles were slightly off like that too. Just took the cluster face off, and nudged the needles slightly.
Tachometer is easy, at idle you know it should be around 600rpm. Oil pressure and temp, should be straight up (generally). Speedo should be easy. When you're not moving, should be right on zero. Fuel is more subjective. For me, I know for the first half of the tank, each tick mark is 30 miles, just cuz I'm OCD about watching that. As long as you know when it's full vs when it's empty, you can really set the needle to wherever you want it, low fuel light typically comes on with about 2 gallons left in the tank.
Gonna be pretty hard I imagine unless u have torque or other scanner..Capote said:Finally put green LED strips in cluster
Buuuut RPM's, oil pressure, voltage, fuel, and water temp are all off.....which makes me assume speed is going to be wrong too.... And all these needles we're put to their marked positions. This is gonna be a PITA to fine tune.......FML
Any suggestions on corrections?

I have dash command, I'm not worried about where the voltage, oil, and temp gauges need to precisely be because I remember exactly where they are supposed to be from staring at my cluster all the damn time because of my wacky voltage. It's just a matter of moving the needles to the left far enough so that when I power the truck these needles start moving where they are supposed to lie. That's what I think is gonna be an annoyance. Because we're not supposed to move these needles while the rig is running right?Midnyteryder196 said:Gonna be pretty hard I imagine unless u have torque or other scanner..
This may get u close though..

Yeah I remembered that after the fact about moving them as far left as they'd go. All the needles are about a centimeter off from where they should lie when the vehicle is offSparky said:
