i am getting a jdm cluster soon... black face with red needles
and i wanted to know... if n e one has changed the bulbs in the back to Led bulbs>?? if soo plz show pic ... and what type of bulbs are they> 194??

i saw a pic once... on some other site and they were sooo nice and bright at night but i cant find it.

I have done this, and I must say one of the easiest mods ever and def gives the gauge cluster an updated and fresh look. The old yellowish lights in there look tired and well...old. I highly recommend this mod. I do not remember the number I will find out though.

i am no longer the blue as it became more white. i have no pics of it, since I went red now.

Was/is the light equally distributed over the faces?
I've seen setups were it looks crap, inconsistent hotspots everywhere.

even distributed.

Sorry to bring back an old thread but now that my lights are fixed thought I should post my pic here so have more than just one example to give you an idea of what leds in the cluster look like.

looks good, what colour did you get?

Thanks for that link Derbo. I will get my next set from them. Yours looks way better than mine. One off mine has since gone out too. Stupid crappy LEDs.

Your temp guage looks a little dim.

Yeah I think it looks dim because my cam was on night shot with auto settings, so it adjusted for the middle of the image. It is same as the others in person. Crappy point and click camera. The bulbs were just white from

I also tried blue but then not sure reminded me too much of the high school F&F days.

dude im looking to do the red as well, could you take a pic for me so i know if i really want to do this or not, thxz

I used #74 bulbs for mine, I'm just not sure what size the 3 bigger bulbs were.. Be sure to get the 3-bulb leds 'coz the single ones weren't bright enough..

So what I did was I took out the leds that I bought then took the stock bulbs, bought some spray tint from Rona then sprayed the bulbs. Looks a bit dim, but better than stock.
