OK, enough jealous to Hazwan... I am trying so hard to be as creative as him, but never suceed.
after 2 hours struggled removing the dash cluster (thanks to Hazwan in helping me find those 2 hidden bolts under the steering column), it finally removed.

I cant afford LED stripes as Haz used for replacing the light bulb, so I bought some regular white LEDs, those with short lenses. and I also bought a piece of perforated PCB, some 560K ohm resistors.
here they are:

still far far away to perfection. I wish I was as creative as Hazwan, but I love my new dash cluster......

again, thank you Hazwan for your hints.:cheers:

Looks epically good, but you better get some gas soon.

Looks good! What's the red light between the speedometer and the picture of the car?

Thai is a kind of warning light,which lights on evrytime you turn the ignition key. It refers to ajar door(s), open trunk lid and also brake light fault. It will lights on for 5 seconds and turns off itself..

Yeah, again, thanks a ton for Your help. still have thousands of question though, just be prepare :)
I even change my analog rotary clock back light with white leds, and also A/C control panel..and, a little green light under steering column which beam the console box also..but, hey...those LEDs aren't dimmable...They get dimmed a bit anyway then keep them that way although I turned the dimmer button fully off. anyway, those are rocks!!

It also lights up when the oil pressure drops. It happened to me once due to a bad camshaft :(
