Dash Light Mod Success

[QUOTE="OldManTan";1351153]Yosh always advertising!! LOL I fully agree, I LOVE my dash, and so do my eyes.

The only problem I have with a blue dash is I didnt change my highbeam indicator so sometimes I forget to shut them off cause it blends in.[/QUOTE]

^ hey, i'll answer pm's all day long (and have conerngin this and the retorfits), but if someone is still uncomfortable, i'll help them out!

yea, i made that mistake w/ the blue highbeam. i have since changed it to red to match my needles, cruise, and headlight indicator!

 

Hey I know you will help, I was seriously just kidding. I am not sure who's post on here helped me but I couldn't/wouldn't have done it without TW members. Red sounds good as I do have a few left over. I feel bad when I forget to shut them off and people flash me.

 

where can u get the leds to do this mod because i am planning on trying it with in the next couple weeks

oznium is awesome. great prices and fast shipping...

 

they are in series. Make sure the polarity is correct and make sure they are making a good connection. Try just putting alittle more soder on there and usually it works.

 

you have polarity issues. there is a dot on the bottom left corner that is supposed to match up w/ the notch on the LEDs. adn they are in series, so if even just one is on there incorrect, none of them will light up.

also, you dont need a lot of solder, just make sure you are getting good solder joints and not any cold welds.

 

hey guys...i did the mod the other day and i got most of the leds to work. the main speedo and odo will not light up....i think i may have jacked up a connection point on the board..anybody know how to fix that?

 

Open it back up and check all your solders. You probably just have a cold solder so just check them all and also make sure the polarity is correct.

 

ya could be polarity or it could be solder shorting out the pos and neg terminals, you should just remove them clean all the solder of the led and the pcb, then start over.

 

Has anyone Done all Green ?

 

PreRunnerSeth did one for 07trd4x4 in all green with white needles. It came out pretty slick... here are some pics.
