Blue L.E.D. Dash Lights

Syko · Mar 26, 2009

Just figured I would post up some pics I think they turned out quite nice. Surprised it only took 3 for the Instrument Panel.

Aftermarket Gauges the one on the Left has the old bulb

Gauges again all LED

Speedo. Camera takes crappy pics in the dark.

Ford Gauges.. out of the 4 of them only the fuel gauge works

There ya go!

Thanks

how? did you just solder the LED's in were the peanut bulbs went?
ive been thinking of using white LED's or blue like yours

no souldering should have to be done. i just did mine on my 88. all i did was take out the gauge cluster and twist off the thing that holds the bulbs and place the blue ones in. Just remember your goin to have to pull the speedometer out and the rpm gauge out becuase if urz is like mine u have little green plastic covers that gave it that green look. So youd just have to pop them out place the gauges back in. Its way easier than what it sounds. And the bulbs can be bought at any autoparts. theyre 194 bulbs.

this is what mine looked like afterwards.

I posted a few picks of what to get from superbrightleds.
I did the swap in my 86 and it only had 3 bulbs to replace so i used the 5led bulbs insted of the singles, I used the singles for my blinkers.

hey i did this in my 85 and if you get a white led like the blue ones you got you can take off your heater control switch panel and replace it and it will shine through blue like this:
