I was wondering why that looked so familiar. lol. I would hope that the bulbs would be a lot brighter than mine since I just painted the stock bulbs. Do you have the right sockets and voltages going to them?

(Also guy who took the other pic might have used a longer exposure so as to make the colors on his cluster stand out more)

Please do :)

Should try the Autozone bulbs in the cluster and see if those light it brighter. Did the Autozone bulbs fit better or were they still loose?

The bulbs I bought from Schucks (or some auto place) didn't fit quite right but were the number that I needed and I had to push really hard to get them into the sockets.

no is not bulbs its this LED light its on the accessories section were all the neon light are at well what i did was i remove the climate control and then i cut off the light bulb socket were the bulbs go on and then i just connect power and ground to the new LED lights it looks pretty clean and for the clock i just put the red paper from some 3D glasses 8) you could barely see it and the same with the cluster and that's with the LED bulbs ....here are the pics
