today's project-gauge cluster rings
Took about 30min from removal to reinstall with minor trimming of the rings. Gives it a whole new feel can't wait for the first drive. You can also see how much better the display looks with the white led bulbs.

I never did the LED mod. My OE lights have stood the test of time.

One of the very first mods I did to my 3.0 about 8 years ago. It's crazy how much different it looks with those rings! Enjoy!

It really is a huge difference, enough to make you feel like you're driving a newer bmw, love it even more when the clearer display. Thanks
