I just thought there might be a chance that he never flipped the console over.

Yep, flipped it over, removed it, took the ignition switch off and CLEANED it.

I have not removed the lense yet though. I'll be do that as soon as the one I ordered arrives.

I used CD's on mine traildog. They are bright as hell even in the sunlight. Used blue in the speedo and its great at night. I got bulbs that have at least 270° or better. I posted pictures a few pages back when I did this.
