QUOTE(Nyczroflz @ Feb 21, 2008 - 8:49 PM) [snapback]644379[/snapback] 3 as in pairs or just 3 lights? 3 lights, so two pairs and you'll have one extra. And don't use the dimmer on them when you get 'em, the reduced load messes with the resistors in the LEDs and will burn 'em out quicker. QUOTE(mikecelica @ Feb 21, 2008 - 9:10 PM) [snapback]644405[/snapback] just had a quick question about gauges, i messed my gas gauge up when i put glow gauges in and accidentaly broke the needle. anyways i was gonna buy another cluster from someone on here but they are from the states and their gauge counts in miles not km. So what i wanna know is is it the counter itself thats preset to count in miles or the computer part behind it that tells it. Also can i change the odometer of that one to match mine or does it just seize when you try to tamper with it? sorry for all the questions, thanks for any help/ I believe I saw a km/h cluster on ebay for pretty cheap, might check ebay then you don't have to mess w/anything at all! Can you just replace the needle though? Or did it break inside? --------------------  |

You can just replace that 1/3 of the gauge cluster from any N/A Celica. The GT4 one however may not be compatible due to the extra gauge [boost]. This will be an easy fix from the junkyard if you have one near you.

Yea these were a good deal like 6-8 bucks for 4 bulbs (2 in a pack) I have the red LEDs in my gauge cluster. The thing about red is it doesn't light up near what it was before, but then again red is not really a bright color compared to blue. Also to get the green off of the factory bulbs I just used scissors and cut a little slit in the green cover and then just peeled it off.

their site's down for maintenance... try to order the 5-way 194s though, they have 5 tiny bulbs so they project better. I ordered the 4-way, which is fine for me, but I'd think the 5-way would be even better

Anyone know if they have these in orange? I'd like to match my Scion headunits color.
What website did you get these from, and what kind of bulbs are they? This post has been edited by GotToyota: Aug 8, 2008 - 10:51 PM |

Hey Matt, get them from V-LEDS.com. I got the blue ones and they really do look nice, not as blue as Id like, but still nice. I didnt see any orange ones, just amber.
