Dash lights

Just a heads up tried to take out the instrument cluster on my 05 and check the bulbs to replace with led's but little to my surprise is that the bulbs are already less and hardwired in to the circuit board. so anyone looking to upgrade don't waste the time un less somewhere out there theres a whole new circuit board with the options of different color lights. A little info on my bubble being popped.

 

Do they take off the less on there and just solder on new ones or what. not a clue and I think my wife would kill me if i ruined it.

 

Pretty much, if you know how to solder, it should not be no problem.

do u know where to buy just the less to solder back on cuz if its that easy then i might just do it

 

are there any websites that sell a new gauge cluster with different LEDs?

 

You'll need a pair of tweezers and a soldering iron with a fine point. here's a picture of the LED next to a penny for size reference:

 

posted on a different thread but i am wondering what the l.e.ds are for the radio control they seem to be diffent seems to be skinier
