Study pictures and text. This is the exact unit you will receive. Note: the white spot you see on the face on the left and the picture is not a flaw. It's a glare from the overhead light. Now includes free video instructions on how to get the cluster out of the car. Gouge-free plastic face and no face delamination. Good light tunnels with foil inserted to increase brightness (see pictures below). This is in above-average condition, considering most you will see. If your W123 dash lights are really dim, this part may need to be replaced. Your plastic housing and dash light tunnels could be melted.
