Gauge cluster LED's, For those who updated their green bulbs Options

[GotToyota]

I bought a new Pioneer headunit recently and while it lights up green, it's more of an updated and stronger green as opposed to the soft factory green that is found in our Toyota's. Basically it's more bold (example shown below). Has anyone on here updated their cluster with green LED's to give it a more modern look and if so where did you get them and please post a pic showing what you use.

This is what it looks like:

I thought the bulbs had a green handle on top with which they turn into the bulb hole on the cluster? I want the replace the main bulbs, I don't know how many there are.

Also, what bulb types are the trip/odometer? I'd love to replace those with white LED's.

Yes, you are correct, they have that green handle type thing, i called it a 'socket' but there is no special 194 type that goes in there, just a regular wedge type that fits into that same socket, and then you twist that into the cluster. It's similar to .... christmas tree lights, to replace the bulb you take it out of the socket and put another in. New bulbs will not come with the socket, you just reuse the old one. And there are 3. =)

Edit: the speedo, fuel/temp, tach, trip and odometer all use the same 3 194's. Those three light everything except the idiot lights (CEL, oil, battery... ) <--All those have separate bulbs. Unfortunately everything will be one color unless you get overlays.



Thats from the How-to.
