Hi mate. Great video. I have a 2006 Sierra 2500 that has the cluster with the printed PRNDL with the small orange lights that indicate the gear selection underneath. 2 of those small orange lights are dead on mine. Have you come across this before? Do you know if they can be removed and replaced with new ones? Nothing else is wrong with my cluster- steppers and back lights are all good. Thanks again.

@@GroundLevelQLD hello. I would say it’s very rare that those little orange lights fail but it is technically possible and yes, they can be replaced. They are surface mount LEDs.

I don't know if it's been pointed out in relation to nighttime illumination, the human eye is most sensitive to blue and green, using the cones in the retina. At night, one doesn't want the cones waking up, night time is where the rods are needed. Colors below yellow are what the eye naturally "expects" to see at night. Even that blue High Beam lamp in my dash drives me bonkers. So I drive 99.9% using dims at night. Many deer have survived crossing the highway at night because of that AND driver's unimpaired night vision. No blood and guts in my grill, no dented fenders or smashed windshields. I say ANY lighting, inside or outside the car has NO place being even partially green or blue AT NIGHT. It's a serious safety issue, IMO. Of course, outlawing all those bluish and greenish headlights will never happen--bad for sales & profits. Seems one's only defense is to wear yellow tinted "night driving" shades. Try it and see for yourself!

I know this is an old video, but hoping to get some insight. I've completed some led retrofitting on the cluster and some other components. I am getting a dimmer control circuit 1 and 2 DCT errors now B2610 and B2615 although the leds seem to dim fine for the most part. The dash doesn't dim all the way to off with the dimmer potentiometer, but does dim. Is this something you may have dealt with in the past that you may help point me in the right direction? 2006 Tahoe. Does the BCM possibly see the lower current draw as a bunch of open bulbs or something?

Never understood the point of marking the needles; the stepper motors have a built in stop and self-test. Just push the needle all the way down to the stop, remove it. When installing set it on gently and turn to the stop, again, before pushing them all the way down. Plug it up, good to go.
