1984-1989 Corvette Instrument Panel Backlight and LCD Repair Bundle
Repair Dark and Intermittent Clusters with ease!


While the cluster is apart for an LCD repair, it's a great time to replace other problem components in the cluster. This is a bundle of parts that we use when a cluster comes into the batee.com shop.
