Who Has Changed the Color of their Cluster Lights?

How did you get those to be white? I saw something about sanding the back down or some shit? PM me

 

Drive something without a clock and see how back that sucks... If I still have it I will trade you by black trim panel for yours with a clock... Then the clock will not be bothering you any longer.

 

I took the front cover plate off mine, took out the Green bulb and put in a clear bulb and its now white lights...

It cost me about $0.68 at Napa for a new bulb... HUGE Mod... and I was able to get it done in ONE weekend.

 

My whole cluster is blue along with the ac controls, definitely worth it and had a low cost to

 

This is from my build thread.

And a picture.

Depending on your year, some of the 1st gens have an orange filter in the instrument cluster.

 

to get your seat belt light to quit flashing the easiest solution is to put your seat belt on. stops it right away!!!

 

In mine you could also just unplug the sensor under the drivers seat. I noticed the light didn't come on when I had forgotten to plug it back in after changing my carpet.

 

even easier to put on seat belt and the whole save your life aspect of it is a plus too!

 

where in stl? ive been thinkin about doin this but im sure ill mess something in the dash up haha

 

It really isn't that hard. Your just replacing bulbs. Only issue you could have with LED's is putting them in with the polarity backwards. So, it's a good idea to plug the instrument cluster back in before you reassemble the dash and make sure all the lights come on.

gona revive this, I realized a trend, the 98-00's have a white cluster with condoms on the lights, 01-04 has a condom, AND the back of the cluster has an orangeish film, so when I put a clear bulb I get a peach color which is totally lame!

I want blue and red like vw/audi colors, not sure what to do though...

 

I think you'd have to take them to a decal shop and have them make you new faces. Either clear, or with the color of filter you want.

 

LEDs made a huge difference in my dash and AC/heater panel:




The LEDs do not dim but I'm fine with that.

 

Interesting. Mine dim, they just shut off when they are still fairly bright.

Hey leadgolem have a question where would you get the incandescent bulbs if you were to do that. Cause i have 1st gen and thinking about doing this just dont want it to look dumb. Would you say just get the natural white or the blue.

 

i had white LED's in the gauge cluster and AC panel in my 99 and ran into the same problem as rab89 with the 04 panels. sucks. any ideas what to do other than new faces?

 

my 00 just had bulbs with condoms

 

Well I have an 03 think it will be a problem cause i already ordered the bulbs lol.

 

How difficult would be it be to do that to a 95 pickup?

 

Did everything red LED:
(for some reason these pics look orangish, but they are very much red)



Also did the Map Lights a while back:
