I'm looking to make my gauge cluster white like that. I currently have the stock bulbs and taped gel over the plastic to make the needles red and the gauges whatever color the stock bulbs are (a really warm white, nearly orange). How much did those 194 drop-in LED bulbs cost? All automotive LED replacements I've seen are absolutely inane. $8 for 5 SMD LEDs? No, thank you. Did you use the ones that are 5 standard LEDs, 4 in a circular pattern with one facing out? Or did you use the 5-way SMD LED bulbs that are all too common. The 5mm LED style replacement looks real easy to make... just get 5 LEDs, bend the leads around to the right shape and glue them together. Wire them up in series and solder them into the cluster... much cheaper than paying whatever ridiculous amount most places charge for the replacement, seeing as how LEDs are anywhere from $.10-$1.00 a piece. The white looks great on those gauges though. I want mine to look the same, except with red needles (just need white bulbs/LEDs).

This bulb is a 5mm led facing straight and 4 3mm leds shooting 360`. these are called refractors?!?!? dunno why. i didnt get the smd leds because of the price. the smd ones are the chip looking leds which have a better glow, but they're like $2.50 more for each compared to these. Im happy with the glow on this set.

Do u unplug the other bulb and plug this one in.... wheres the night pictures??? yeah and you will get the polarities wrong and you would have to unplug and switch it. i say depends on the person because sometimes you have trouble doing easy things  night pics will come sunday ****replaced my keyring bulb with a 5mm led 74 size. its hella bright!!!  also took out the green 74 led i had in the glove and put a white one there too. next will be the coin light. green to white led exchange.

Looks good. I love the door panel courtesy lights. I'll probably end up doing that to my car too. Great job.

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

wow, good job. I've been wanting to do LEDs too but couldn't decide on a color. this just sealed it for me. I won't be doing the purple/green look though. If you throw in some gold accents, you'll have a mardi-gras car
 I'm just playin' it looks good. and i love the doors. -------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold
