Gauge Disassembly .. DIY?
#16
i think superbrightleds.com is wayy overpriced, you can get the same quality build LEDs from that ebay seller I just linked u all to. Just be sure to buy the $4+ LEDs and dont buy the cheaper ones, you get what you pay for, and the $6+ per pair are the highest quality LEDs on there. REAL good.

Replaced with a bright white led, thanks to bananags..
Replaced with a SMT Red LED, had to trim the bulb holder because LED was too long for socket and cause fitting issues...
Replaced small *** red led with a blue one, had some issues, took some cleverness, can do a DIY if interested..
And of course, the lovely LED tails... i just love... ahh.. light.. i was affraid of too much light back there, but it's perfect..!!
And i'll do the DIY, it is about a 6 or 7 out of 10.. in difficulty, ametuers need not apply..

You could save a lot of time and just make covers. I found thin (but durable) colored plastic sheets (8x11) at Hobbytown Usa. I think Hobbylobby has them too. I just took off the peice that covers the cluster, cut out some blue circles that fit the cluster, taped em on, and put the cover thing back on.. The effect is very nice. Now I have bright blue gauges, and greenish needles....all for under $10 and about 20 mins time.!
