No problem. I'm unsure about the instrument cluster. I didn't use the twist type for the cluster. The twist type tend to make the cluster 'spotty' giving light hot spots at places. This is because LEDs are mostly directional and give out their brightest light when looking straight at them, and they don't spread out the light much. Because of this, I used LED strips on the inside of my cluster. This way I could but lots of lights in there and get rid of hot spots. Plus LED strips already come pre-wired with resistors

OK I have a few more questions lol. Im sorry for the questions its just these are the same mods I wanted to do to mine. Are those regular led strips? Does the circuit board sit on top of the leds?? And once you put the needles back on how do you calibrate them so they will be correct?? I see a video on youtube where he turned the needles clockwise a few time.
