What you think?

I don't know if those are dimmable or anti reflective, but if not it may be VERY hard to use that at night. LED's have domed tops meant to spreads the light like a bulb, but the bleed light and reflect very easily.

I'd be concerned that the brightness would be uncomfortable in a dark car, or that the LED's would relfect from the back side of the cluster cover and look strange.

That being said $70 ain't much for a cluster.

Well, this one is $395 to buy out right.... So I will be very surprised if "somebody" doesn't bid it up considerably before auction end...

I noticed it said "Smoked face plate" I presume they mean lens. That should tone the LED's down some. And the Blue that is actually for sale in this auction shouldn't be as bright as the red that is shown.

Those look nice and a lot cheaper than the Dakota Digital ones i just bought. I would like to see how they look installed.

Got this one for $160ish, not a direct swap but you can see how the smoke lens tones it down a little. I like that intellitronix have a lifetime warranty also, I bumped it and the "u" in fuel quit working.
Haven't driven the truck at night, but I think it'll be ok.
