Changed my guage bulbs ***PICS*, Got Blue Bulbs Check it out Options

you need 3 of the matrix bulbs I believe... because there are 3 stock bulbs in the cluster

i ordered 3 of the 5LED matrix bulbs. so there were 3 parts i ordered but a total of 15 LEDs now in the guage cluster.

tangent thoughts:
i'm now thinking about climate control. it's a more difficult issue. requires (3 i think) special toyota bulbs. i'm thinking it'd be nice to fabricate an LED replacement. so i could get the backlighting blue without really modifying the climate control unit. but even so i'd want to change out the LEDs that are behind each button and that will definitely require soldering.

maybe a better project would be to modify the climate control unit to just accept 194 bulbs (or LED clusters as the case may be). i've seen a guide for permanently wiring in some 194 LED clusters, but it may be possible to just fabricate a socket for 194, and then use the LED clusters as a replacement instead of an incandescent bulb.

that would be awesome.. i want to work on something like that too... I want to make everything that lights up at night inside the car blue instead of the ugly green color that it is now..

pm me if you get any ideas, I'll try to do some research about the 194 idea.. but I got work today, I'll look at it tomorrow or late tonite

wow thanks thats exactly what i was lookin for... thanks batman

I'll try to do this once I can get a chance to grab some more bulbs... I think if I did those matrix wide angle LED's they would glow a bit brighter..

I got my bulbs in today and installed them! I got my friend to take some pics with his camera so hopefully I will try to have the pics up tomorrow..

hey batman, where did you get those gauges from, Im lookin for the same thing just in green. (I know my dash is already green, so are my neons and all the other lights on my car, might as well just stay with the color already there ^_^)

i got the same guages as batman in my car. i really like them. i painted my needles red with testors paint to make them stand out better.

[Batman722]

ebay. $35 I think. They were #165 or something. They also can change from blue to green, there is a switch to change them.

I changed my interior lights recently to blue and red. Here's some pics:

The gauges with the warning lights on to show the red turn lights:


The clock:


The climate controls, cig lighter, and the glove box(opened):


The ceiling light:



I also made the keyhole circular rim blue, but forgot to take a pic of it.
