Dashboard/gage light upgrade


Nope you want the first ones on this page: http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html

The inverted ones. Same ones for both vehicles.

Thanks. But when you click buy now, it takes you to a new page with a bunch of different things, and I don't know which ones they are.... anyone want to help. Give the price or tell me where they are on the order page so I can find them. I just want to make sure I get the right ones....

Ok so I think I found the right ones.... You click buy now, then you go to the 2nd page, and they are the 2nd one down on the 2nd page right? It says they are .79 cents for 12, so I could just get like 2 or 3 orders to be safe and pay like $2.50. Some please help, I really want a blue LED dashboard... Thanks!

Alright, So now I know I got the right ones, but do I want the 90 degree or 120 degree viewing angle? Whats the difference?

Oh, and how many will I need? 1 blue or white one cost $1.39 a piece, so how many do Rangers need? I haven't decided if I want blue or white yet...

I was thinking like 10 would do the job??

If you only put them in the holes that lightup the gauge and the highbeam it should take less than 10.

All the other things (brake, blinkers, ABS....) will not lightup blue so just leave them alone OR put in white ones.

Yep, I'm only doing the guages. I'm going to trust you since you said you got them for your truck. I just put in an order for 10 just to be safe, even if it takes less. It costs 18 bucks!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! HAHA

How many did it take when you did your guages on your '92?

Thanks a lot buddy! I've decided to get white by the way. My stereo lights up blue and white at night, and I think white would look the best.
 
It iwll not lightup white. It will still be green!

I can't remember about my '92 but my '89 fox Msutang too 6-7 I think.

What Green still?!?!?

Maybe I'll do blue and give the white ones I ordered to my friend...
 
Yeah, the film in the factory gauge is colored green. With a white bulb it lights up nasty boring green. With a white LED it will probably be a pale green....
 
Ok thanks.... now how do I get into the dashboard? That's one of the few things I've never know how to do on Ranger/Mazdas...

I'd love to do this set up as well but I have the same problem. Anybody have pictures or instructions on how to get into the gauge cluster?
 
My brother says it's really easy to get into it, so I'll let him do it as soon as my order comes in and I'll take pictures along the way and post them up here to help you out bro...

I'm still not sure what the difference between 90 and 120 degree veiwing angle... which one is brighter? I want the brighter one...
 
I'm pretty sure the 90 and 120 are referring to the dispersion angles from the end. The 90 disperses mostly over 45 degrees on either side and the 120 disperses over 60 degrees on the either side. The higher the degree of dispersion, the less focused the light is. 0 degrees would be like a laser pointer. That's my intepretation.

Oh that makes sense. so the 90 would probably be a little brighter?
 
Cool Cool i shall be ordering a few of these guys
 
get the 120 degree angle if possible. the 90 will give you very bright spots over the lights, and very dim spots in all the corners.

there is a way to remove the green film from behind the guages so the colored LED's can shine through....you need to remove the cluster and dissasemble it.

getting to the guages isnt hard:

remove ash tray (open tray and remove 2 t-15 torx from either side)

pull instrument cluster/stereo trim peice off (you can leave the stereo in if you dont want to loose your settings, but its easier if you remove it first)

remove 4 large black bolts that hold cluster on (also t-15's if memory serves)

reach behind cluster and unplug 2 large electrical connectors and release speedo cable

remove cluster, flip over to access lights.
