This spring I'm thinking about changing my cluster bulbs. I have aftermarket white face gauges. I'd like to change to blue bulbs, is this a remove the old, toss in the new thing, or is it more involved? What about LED's? Anyone have pics or input?

It is very simple swapping the bulbs, just pull the cluster out and flip it over and replace the bulbs with LEDs

So there is no soldering? I hada do that in my other car.
Just pop them out and change them?


Also what LED's, and where to get them....thanks guys.

haha where have you been for the past few years?L.E.D. meaning light-emitting diode. TO make a long story short, there a very bright, with an extreme colour light that uses less power then a regular bulb but is alot more visible then a regular bulb. Conductors made out of different materials determines the colour of the LED, example,

aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) - red and infrared

aluminum gallium phosphide (AlGaP) - green

aluminum gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP) - high-brightness orange-red, orange, yellow, and green

gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) - red, orange-red, orange, and yellow

zinc selenide (ZnSe) - blue

sapphire (Al2O3) as substrate — blue

indium gallium nitride (InGaN) - near ultraviolet, bluish-green and blue

gallium nitride (GaN) - green, pure green (or emerald green), and blue also
white (if it has an AlGaN Quantum Barrier)

just to name a few, typically you can get LEDs from car parts stores or big rig truck stores, mainly because alot of big rig tail lights are LEDs nowadays

I always thought the white leds were kinda boring. But recently my buddy installed some white leds in his car and i gotta say they look great. I would def go with white or blue

Yeah they look good because they have a blue look to them. I went with red on mine, I used 194 with 4-LED's on each

I used ledgauges.com LEDs for my red but I also put white in my v6 and they were more blue than white.. But get the 194 bulbs like the first one that was posted with I believe the 5 LEDs in it.. That will work and look great!
