[DML] Re: Removed my own binnacle! (I've done my doors and HVAC controls so far)

["John Rydholm" <ebondefender@xxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't tried the binnacle yet, but I did have an interesting
experience replacing the Heater and A/C lights some time back. The
downside was that I had my dash cut for my Alpine CD/MP3 player. This
was unfortunate, as I didn't realize some of the vendors sell a nice,
removable facplate that you don't need to saw to death. I also got
metal filings up my fingers because the radio shop didn't bother to
clean out the other side. Good thing I had a magnet! -ow. I was able
to salvage the OEM control display decal thing, with minor bubbles
that needed smoothing out after replacement. The doors looked awesome
too, but sadly my passenger side developed a short in the harness not
long after I put the LED's in. So I ended up disconnecting the clip
under the vent to prevent a reenactment of Chernobyl. (The end of the
wire started to resemble a piece of melted licorice.) But the upside
is my HVAC lights are no longer burning my fingers every time I touch it.

I'd honestly like to add a solid backlit instrument cluster someday.
Red would be my personal fav, or maybe flame orange-red!
