Never bought any myself, just moved a couple from the old dead cluster to the new(er) one.
The design of the holder is pretty simple too, I had a bash at attaching a couple of LED globes I have to the holder. One worked perfectly, the other was ordinary... both were a rush jobIn the the I just swapped them both out so they match and went with the 1.2W's.
The originals are all neatly soldered together, I used glue, given a little more time I'm sure I could knock the LED ones together properly and easily. Maybe a drop of hot glue or somethine just to keep it all tacked together when I'm done.
I'm not sure what they are worth at a dealer, but don't think they would be much, that and they *usually* break so rarely that it shouldn't worry you too much anyway.
Where do you get yours and for how much?

To answer your question yes it can, when you change the cluster on the golf 3 you are suject to changing the odometer aswell, just to keep in mind

sorry for the language guys
VR6golfboy - I hope no offence was taken - there was certainly none meant.
i thought you were asking if you could change the odometer reading for your current cluster - and the answer is no, the odometer reading stays the same with each cluster.
if it is a 95 and says 77000 then chances are that he replaced the whole cluster - not just the face...
have you got pics? i was thinkin about a white face for my cluster
Dubber

actually, now that I think about it, i may be wrong...
it may be that it has had an engine swap... guys? where is the odometer statistics stored? is it on the engine on in the cluster?
there is a few good threads on here detailing what to look for in a VR6 when purchasing...
Have a squizz through these:
