Post Your LED Gauge Swaps Here

Soon..................

Color output isn't really effected too too much. It might be a slightly washed out green, but it's definitely still bright and visible!

Better be soon haha

Good to hear, thanks for replying. So the white LEDs are in? KILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taking my cluster out today and sending it your way!

Wow, this is something I've been wanting to do ever since I've seen DARKIE's thread about 2 years ago. Can't wait! :drummer::guitar2:

heres the trick, u get the leds from superbright leds right? neo4, i use the hp version, and we all know they dont light up when installed, only the regular ones light up dim. so first thing first, get the hp leds and the bas of the neo4, unwind both leads, ones pos and the other is neg, so u solder some pigtail wire to both leads, make sure you know whtats pos and neg, test it a 12v drill batt if u can, then you install it back on the unit, but make sure the wires dont make contact on the board, now you goin to tap the pos into a hot wire thats going to be hot on acc, its the gray wire on the hvac plug, its the corner i think, now tap that for + and find a ground to use, i just did a small ring terminal and use the radio bracket as ground, test if the bulb light up. to make the neo4 led stay put, tape it on the back of the led holder, seperating the + and - so they dont touch. and now you got full 12v to the leds. this is how i did it and i am not responsible for any mistakes on the process. i looked at the wire diagram for a long time figurin out what is acc hot, the yellow with red is constant hot. but the grey is acc hot, its better to use a test light, i wasnt able to use one, but i invested in one from sears last weekend after this mod.
