LED swap day.

Corner lights:

License plate lights:

3 major lights in cluster, as you can see, there are lots of them:

Key ring:

HVAC. looks like the heat knob doesn't light up with the led......

new compared to old

I also did the trans shifter light. And the glovebox light.

I will get some pics tonight. Hopefully everything is working!!!!

 

[TRDteen]

Wow looks like they were all an easy swap. I may be doing this soon! Great job Drew!

 

[THatfield]

I'm looking forward to doing this in mine soon. The green is driving me mad. Well done, as usual.

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

stoked on the results.

The climate control doesn't want to work.....

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

So I went back out to trouble shoot the HVAC. turns out I needed to flip the LEDs.

Then I went to look at the ECT and rear defrost light. turns out it is a ridiculously small bulb that I didn't get. I took off the green filter and it turned orange........

Here it all is! Only thing that's not blue is the clock and ECT and rear defrost light

 

[UT Hack]

I could never get the wedge lights to work in my 98 for the AC (green part) that indicates the AC is on, but that's probably my own error.

Lights look awesome man! The LED gauge swap is one of my favorite things that I've done to my truck, it makes it look much more modern and clean IMO.

dying to do this!!!! anyway you could post the specs of the LEDS you used for the different locations? And for the dashboard did you have to take a a lot apart? It looks great!

 

[TheArkMaster]

Are those blue LEDs in the corners?

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

Are those blue LEDs in the corners?

yup. did it to kinda match the projectors

 

[TheArkMaster]

Do you have a whole front end shot with the projectors and corners on?

Drew,
First of I read through your entire built and they are awesome. I just picked up a '98 (evergreen pearl) auto with diff lock and plan on some basic build.
I have not decide on suspension or tires yet and try to get some idea.
Does your current wheel/ suspension setup rub at all?

 

[MadRunner]

The '98 evergreen pearl is to be new build.

The only place it rubs is on the two bolts that hold the mudflaps on in the rear.
