How hard was fixing the thigh support? And surely the cluster wasn't plug and play was it?

Thanks!) It's very easy to fix the thigh support, I did it in 30 minutes with watching some tutorials. Replaced both with these from aliexpress.
They are a bit noisy though.
The cluster was the hard part. I soldered white LEDs instead of orange ones, also soldered a external module for 2 step fade effect. First the arrows light up then slowly the gauges. I connected it to number plate lights, so when the car get's unlocked the dash lights up.
Also wrapped the needles in red headlight tint. The tricky part is with needles, they need a certain pressure to stay in place. At first I put them in too hard and they where jiggering, so I had to disassemble everything several times to make it right. And also connecting the module to car's wiring.
But it was worth it.
