You need 3 x T5's for the main tacho (speedo and rpm) and 1 x T10 for the fuel and temp gauge section.

Go the multi-angle kit though, normal led's dont seem to have the same dispersment of light, rather a more direct light.

I agree, and it looks awesome. Ill try and take a photo when I get back to perth, I installed mine last week.
Now I just need to find some for the illumination around the climate control, and around the ignition barrel and the Cruise control etc switches. I want it all matching :-)

Me too! I just ordered the kit for the cluster today. Will have to take out the A/C unit to see what bulbs fit for a GC8 and then ask old mate to send me some more!

Well the kit took about 12 days to wander over from QLD in the post. I received it yesterday and got around to installing it just then. Looks great apart from the Cherry Blossom zone disappearing but seeing as how I'd get hoon lawed/yellow stickered if I ever got the rpms that high it's a bit of a mute point. Plus the sti cluster I put them into revs 1000rpm over what the poor old stock EJ205 could handle before it threw a leg out of bed anyway Took all of 15 minutes and would've been quicker if I could have gotten that bastard middle green clip out from the top a bit easier. My hands were not meant to bend in such ways. Maybe if there was a Japanese person to help......

When you purchase the seller sends you some instructions, basically telling you that they are sensitive to polarity ie. if it's in backwards it won't work, take out turn, viola etc etc. Very simple. In the case of a GC8 it is a matter of dropping the steering rack down with the lever, undoing 5 screws and 3 green plugs (probably don't even need to undo the plugs but I was swapping the cluster anyway). Then swapping over the globes for LED's, test to make sure they are in the right way, plug everything back in and do up 5 screws. Too bloody easy. Well easier than when we swapped in the STI suspension into your Foz and about 40 degrees cooler too
