LED lighting

[sn0wrunner]

I want to get blue lighting on my dash board and i was looking at autolumination.com and they have all the light bulbs, but my question is what size is the light bulb/s that you need for the dash board?

 

[4runnersurf]

you need 3 #194 bulbs for the backlighting. the other misc lights in there, like park, drive, seatbelt, high beam, etc, are #74 bulbs. also check out superbrightleds.com

thanks man. Lets see some pics too!

The illumination just uses 194s? That's cool! I didn't know that. That should make it easy to change my dash illumination. Thanks for the info. :biggrin2:

What year is your 4Runner, and are you talking about the gauge cluster lighting or the HVAC controls?

 

[sn0wrunner]

its a 96. the gauge cluster, like spedometer and RPM

That looks awesome! You are making me want to do that to mine. I'm going to figure out what headunit I want to put in it first then change out the bulbs to match. :bigok:

How many of each bulb did it take to replace it all? Also what brand did you get?

 

[sn0wrunner]

3 #194's for the Speedometer, RPM, fuel gauge, and engine temp. For the shifter light just 1 #72. Also 1#72 for the glove box and 1 #72 as well for the ignition light. So you need 3 #194's and just about every other bulb are #72's. Im not sure if there is a "brand name" just go to autolumination.com

 

[XxstuckxX]

wait now im confused! Are the ones besides speedometer #74's or #72's?

 

[sn0wrunner]

lol! sorry that was really confusing. They are 74's So i just bought 3 #194's and 3 #74's. sorry for the confussion

Anyone have a solid write up for changing the lights out for an '01 runner?

 

[XxstuckxX]

are the lights on the ceiling 74 also?

 

[Sloan]

how long did it take to get the dash off, the new lights in, and dash back on?

 

[sn0wrunner]

no the lights on the ceiling are not 74. im not sure exactly what they are but they are bigger.

 

[sn0wrunner]

how long did it take to get the dash off, the new lights in, and dash back on?

to do just the lights on the dash, it took like a half hour or 45 minutes. it was really easy to do.
