SoCal Tacoma LED Cluster Swap

Nvm didn't read your a bit north for me to drive probably more money efficient if I sent you mine will have to wait a couple weeks I have a few projects to take care of first

 

Ehh there are certain vehicles that can be done but I just stick to Tacomas (I've done a couple tundras, scions & corollas)

Yea I'm in Ontario.
Let me know sir!

 

Thanks for the great write up! I finally did the LEDs this weekend and it turned out freaking awesome, looks much better in person! Should've did this years ago!

I spent about 5 hours total from taking the dash apart, soldering and putting it all back together. I also took my time soldering ensuring it had a clean connection and not to burn anything.

Cool White background with Blue needles

 

that looks so damn nice!

 

Update: After a few nights of driving, I looooove the gauges but the "warning" lights are too bright and not dimmable. I used the blue LEDs from Oznium and changed the Blinkers "Headlights On" "Maint Req'd" "TPMS" and "Cruise." I'll see if I can get a pic of these compared to the factory "Bright Headlights On" which is much more tolerable. I might try putting some tint behind the gauge face before I start swapping in new LEDs.

I run full synthetic oil beyond 5k miles and usually leave the Maint light on to remind me, but I may have to reset it now. I can also fix the TPMS light which solves half of the problem.

 

Looks good sir.
Also I do agree with that...they cannot be dimmed as to they are warning lights
So normally I never change those out for people for that reason and a red/amber light is more noticeable on a blue dash than a blue light

 

How you doing Rod? Hows that beast of a truck!

trucks good...yours?

all pms replied...sorry everyone i kind of took my time replying been super busy with work

 

Doing good! Heading back to Pismo next weekend for some shenanigans.

 

Cool.
I'll be heading to Barstow this Sunday.

 

Sounds like fun! I'll be doing a full teardown of the rear for painting and then a full torque check on the whole truck for Pismo next weekend!

 

soooooo....i bought a 2016 radio and of course me being me, i opened it up and found that the leds are 1000x easier to swap on the radio than on the 2nd gens

with that being said i shall be ripping apart the rest of my friends 3rd gen tacoma next weekend to start a new thread and start changing lighting on the 16s


right now it is like turquoise blue but will be installing white/green to match the rest of my truck
