Denver LED gauge swaps...

Well my '98 cluster had 2 bulbs I swapped condoms on and the 01 cluster I later swapped into that truck had 2 bulbs I swapped the condoms on, so...

Take your cluster out if you don't believe me, but I know for a fact that LEDs weren't in the clusters til 05.

 

Hey man, would you happen to know what bulb out of the NEO ones here I need for the climate control lights in an 08?

Did I miss the pic of a 2011 dash? Im tired of the white backround

 

^^ man im tired of the orange lol so hoping when i drive back down south can get up with him and go green and blue on the dash

 

I think they are 73 or 74 bulbs. Search around here, I know a few guys have done that swap and should have difinitive info for you, sorry. They should also have pics to tell you the best type to get (wide angle, super wide angle, SMT led, etc to prevent hot spots) You could always goto the dealer and they will be able to tell you what bulb it is.

I've done a newer Oem white faces cluster, not sure if ever took a pic of it though. Looked great from my memory!

 

Are there different LED requirements?

 

Nope, same exact LEDs. I do remember the pin outs are different, as when I plugged the cluster into my 05, not all the normal lights lit up (ie the headlight indicator stayed lit when it should not have) again, nothing to do w the actual swapping of the LEDs, just a difference in pin outs between the years.

The white faced cluster do use a different arrangement of LEDs, don't remember exactly what the number difference is at this very moment. I'll try to dig up a picture of the cluster when I get home

 

well man im driving through in 2 wks can you pm me what all i would need for the dash to be green and blue needles

 

pm'd

 

That is faqing OG!!!!
This makes me want to drive to Denver for this!!!

 

it would be a nice little roadtrip. i have also done all kinds of clusters, radios, and the above NAV unit all by mail. you include LEDs, $ for service and a prepaid return label. i complete the cluster the same day I get it and have it in the mail on its way back to you by whatever means you pay for the very next day. let me know if you are interested...

 

bump, just did another one by mail. received the cluster last tuesday and had it in the mail the very next day.

 

I've got an '06 Taco and the airbag light and the TPMS light are both not working (burned out?). It's possible someone disabled them on purpose, but I was wondering if that's something you can repair. I know both systems are working because I swapped out the gauge cluster and they both work just fine. However, I want to keep my original gauge cluster to avoid having to try to get the odometer reset.

Let me know what you think. I live in Colorado Springs so I could bring it to you.

Thanks,

i could easily swap or install leds on both of those areas for you. some people have me remove the TPMS LED, so maybe thats what the previous owner did. or some people put a piece of black electrical tape in front of the lights so they dont show in the cluster. I cant imagine that the LEDs would go out, as they are supposed to last for years...havent you seen the promises on all the granola bulbs at home depot!

shoot me a pm, should be an easy fix for ya.

 

You have a write up on how to swap the LEDS for the radio!?

 

no, sorry. there was one many years back on toyotanation. im sure if you search around on google you will find a few.

EDIT: found one on first search, here is the link: http://bit.ly/MC5VnN

 

Not sure what "us " 3rd gen 4Runners have? Is this something you can help us with? Or do we have light bulbs like first gen Tacos and have to get condoms? Thanks...

 

you have bulbs and condoms. here is a sheet i found on t4r.org though.

im looking at picking up a 3rd gen 4runner one day as well. already have the tundra springs for the front!

 

Thanks Yosh! Although now I'm more confused?? That chart says "LED bulbs"?!?! No worries...I think I'm going to call someone a one of the outlets that sell these. They should know...I hope..lol!!
