    @Jerez are the white LEDs you use any brighter than the stock LEDs? I have a 2013 with white lights and would just like them to be brighter and possibly change the needles to blue.

    No they’re the same
    Since they require the same amount of voltage as the board has per led
    Yea I can change the needles to blue

I’m thinking white leds, red needle or I’m kinda feeling that all red everything look you did and I just can’t decide cuz the red ac panels so as much as I like the blue/ white look I wanna keep it redish..

    We do this for motorcycles. Do you have some disassembled that I could see some pics of? I Might have to make them into panels. and have them hang from the top or something.

    I would like to get my 08 Tacoma cluster LEDs changed out but the lens is fairly scratched up. Do you have a trick for cleaning or any recommendations on cleaning it to get the scratches out? Plexus?

    That does seem to be the better route after having such a cool upgrade done. Thanks for the advice.

    Do you paint the needles blue for blue needles or use blue LED’s and paint them white?

    @Jerez Do you provide the new LEDs or would I? I am going to do the 12-15 climate control swap in my 08 and would like to keep the factory orange lighting.

    I provide them normally
    Why do you want to upgrade to the new one? Because of the black plastic??
