My Gage Cluster blue LED swap!!! 2003 tacoma 1st gen

Looks great! A possible future mod for me!

 

Trying to figure out how to do the light when you hit the AC button, or the passenger airbag. I have the climate control done besides that. Haven't really tried yet as I wanted to make sure I had the right bulbs. Have a few spare 74s and a bunch of 194s in my 99. Wondering if you just keep proceeding to remove the dash will you get to them? is there any one of them that is difficult to change? I stopped after I did the climate control two because they were very easy to get to.

 

Like I said above I broke two of my climate controls. So I just removed the third so that none of them light up now It's like they're not there . But somewhere I saw a link where someone cut the bottoms off of a #74 then twisted the two wires off of that somehow to make it work in the little twist sockets that I have. I'm going to just wait until I find a clear panel rather than an orange one to used

 

yeah I had a 95 that had the puke green colors haha I wasn't smart enough then to change the bulbs. but when you take your A/C apart again can you post some pictures ? i want to see if it's the same at my 03

 

The green ones are just a cover over the lights. Just take it apart and remove the green cover and then you have a white light.

 

My 03 has red/orange A/C lights though with a faceplate that is orange

 

how's the brightness with the blue bulbs?

probably going to do this this summer, great writeup btw

 

it's not as bright as you would think but it's mellow. Just not like WHAM LED bright you know? It's bright enough. and thanks

 

yeah it's a p.i.t.a

 

For all the guys wondering if led bulbs dim, they do. Just wanted to clear all the bull s hit on led lights not being able to dim.

Nice work Josh Looks good man

 

good job

 

x2 this id like to know

 

looks good man. i've had white and red in my truck

 

were your needles originally red? or did you paint them red?

 

originally red

 

I really like the red a lot. Will switch to them, non-LEDs, eventually.

Only problem is my needles are that light yellow. Don't know how that'll look in contrast
