This time I used an LED's stripe and the illumination is perfect.

That looks really good . Would you mind telling me what part exactly that you used and where you got it from?

Thanks for your comments! It really was one helluva work but it was so damn worth it baby
I bought an LED stripe which is cuttable like here http://www.ebay.com/itm/281002106741?va ... 1497.l2648
Good thing was I didn't have to use a pre-resistor since it was already soldered in.

Unfortunately not but I try to get some pics from various sites together to show you how I managed it.

There you go!
On pic #2 I crossed out one bulb, you better go with the one I choosed simply because of the lenght of the wiring.
Then all you need to do is to solder it together with the two red cables of the one bulb. I forgot which one was for ground and power but it won't be that hard to figure out 'cause you only have to do it again the other way around and it'll work!
Use an LED stripe (like in the link above) with an included pre-resistor, worked perfect for me. One problem I could care less!
PS: I have one led stripe left if you or someone else need it? It's the exact same color (warm white) like shown in my pictures.

Just a quick question...do I have to use the brown seats circled for the bulbs or could I use the other black ones on the back of the cluster?

I'm not sure...guess I'll just have to try it out
