Did you double check that it was hooked up to your dimmer switch?

JDM clusters don't use a dimmer.

I thought there was a way to hook them up to your dimmer.

The EG6 cluster is just not as bright as the USDM ones, but you can make sure all the bulbs are working, other than that you'll get used to it.

true that...yeah the first time you stare at it at night...it seems dim...but like what he said...you'll get used to it...check your bulbs to see if they're all working to.

By the way, if the bulbs do go out, do you guys know a place that sells the amber bulbs?

I know it has a amber gel coating around them, but they seem so delicate if one will try to pull it out...

anyway, big ups for the jdm gauge clusters...

The bulbs are clear the amber comes from the cluster. I just pulled my old ones and removed the blue condom on them to replace mine that were out.
