I wanted to share my experience with you guys and let you know where I ran into some difficulty. I installed the Cool Blue LED's that I got from my neighbor who owns Twelvolt Led & HID that were a direct replacement for the factory bulbs they fit perfect. I installed them rather quickly after removing the gauge cluster but here is where I screwed up . I didn't take the time to inspect the solder rings on the board the the bulbs make contact with so I installed and half of the dash was nice and bright the other half was really dim so I took it apart again and it sucks because it's pretty easy to break the pins that attach the dash ring to the dash so I begin the process all over again and at this point I'm ready to give up that's when I noticed that the solder ring that makes the connection with the copper tabs of the bulb holder had small divots in them from the contacts rubbing against the board for 18 yrs if you don't look at it closely you will miss them so I get out the solder gun add a little fresh solder to the board and reinstall and this time PERFECT ! So I didn't want you guys to get as agrivated as I did so I thought I would pass it along . Let me know what you guys think .
This is before I noticed the divots and bad spots This is after I added a little solder the rings
I couldn't figure out how to change the color on the needles . If any of you guys know how to change the color let me know . Any information would be greatly appreciated
