Got blue gauges now

sean9721 · Feb 12, 2009

I ordered 10 blue LEDs off of eBay. Out of the 10, i have 2 left. I did the gauges and heater controls. For some reason, when i put the cluster back in, my water temperature gauge quit working.

looks pretty good. i expected LEDs to be brighter. either way it looks nice

Aren't the blue ones nice? You'll need to take the panel out again and check the plug at the gauge and the wiring. Either the plug came loose or you've pinched the wires.

I am happy with blue, let's see some other COLORS!!!

The gauge moved a little when i turned on the ignition. I'm too lazy to take everything else apart.

They are brighter than what they look like in the picture. I took it with my cell phone.

Besides that, it looks a bit patchy like some parts are brighter than others.

I took the picture with my cell phone. Therefore every detail isnt going to show up. The odometer and tripmeter do light up. I guess the cell phone just coudnt show that.

Did you scrape the green film off?

actually the '95 and up dashboards already have a blue filter in them. I put in white LED's and they come out pretty darn blue. So apparently I need to order the amber ones for it to come out greenish again.

I thought I had a picture somewhere online, but I can't find it... I'll get it later.

Remove all the screws that you see. Then pull a little and the parts will pop out.
