Noelsy's Outdoors | 90 Series Prado: Dash Upgrade!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2023
- On todays episode, we update the look of the Prado interior with new L.E.Ds!
All you need for this task is 2 Phillips head screwdrivers (one long one stubby) and some led bulbs.
The bulbs you need to suit the 90 series are:
T10 wedge
T5 wedge
T3 bulb
How many of each will vary from trim to trim but safest bet is at least 10 of each (that way you have spares too).
Thanks again for watching and we'll catch you next time!
Your videos are gold
As I lay suffering through covid I dream of entertainment worthy of my time....
This is it.
Hope you make a good recovery!
Nice one mate, love how you go through each step and mention any issues!
Have you got a link to the LEDs? Want to make sure I get ones that don't blow haha would be a pain to do it twice hey

Hello Noelsy, found your dash upgrade video extremely useful as my high beam light isn't working and needs replacing. I'm also going to replace the main lighting behind the dash to LED's while I'm at it. Apart from that the other reason for contacting you is whether you've thought of doing something similar in relation to the removal of the plastics around the gear levers, as the rubber boot around the Hi-Lo Range gear lever has come unclipped and I need to remove the plastic to get at it from underneath. I'm assuming that it may just unclip, but I'm not sure where I should start, and how to get the plastic cowl over the automatic gear lever past the plastic moveable slides. While it's off I'd also like to have a look at the gear lever linkage as there's a bit of slop there and it may be that I can take that up somehow. Anyway, if you manage to look on line and see the message I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the process. It may be, too, that there's already a video on the process that you or one of your followers could point me to. In any event, congratulations on an excellent video, and keep up the good work. Cheers, John from Hervey Bay
Thanks for the comment john, i may have some info in my XRS upgrade video about removing the shifter trim, to help gain access to the lower portion of the center console. If that video helps you id be over the moon
Best regards thanks for the support
Looks more modern. But after a month my led lights went up in smoke. I had to put new standard bulbs in. Maybe because of the dimmer circuit, the leds did not dim. Maybe I had to add a load resistor as well.
May have been the style of leds, mine seem to dim fine, if i have any issues ill reply here
My 1998 prado uses T4.2 twist lock bulbs NOT T3. I ordered a pack of T3 and they are too small to lock in place.
Are you planning on doing the middle compartment lights? like the a/c etc lights? or do you know how it can be done? Cheers!
its doable mate, not sure how hard it is, its apparently easier on newer models but ive not put much investigation into it
I’ve just completed the centre console lights. Clock, ac unit, cigarette lighter port as well as the multi information display. All looks so nice with blue and white leds. Also did the the light around the ignition port in blue led as well as the speedo.
It’s taken me just about 3 days to get this far but so worth it. Makes the interior look 10x better.
I used individual leds and resistors as it is so much more cost effective and still provides the same result. Cost about £10 for a set of 400 assorted colour LEDs and 100 resistors (more than enough).
Onwards to footwell lighting and other areas now for the LEDs!
Do you have a list of what bulbs you used for all of that?
@@kevinmann-zo2fb I made the same makeshift led for all the areas I used it in, takes a bit longer than just buying them but it saves a whole load of money.
Mate do you know if you can replace a light in the digital clock to make it brighter
Hi, is that button cruise control?
Great videos and very helpful. Just after info on what bulbs you used in the taillights? The ones up the top of the tailights. The ones i bought dont have bulbs in the and the reverse lights dont work. Any help would be appreciated.
Im pretty sure the lights in the top of the housing are meant to be indocators for markets outside of aus, they use a t20 bulb from memory but are typically not wired in on the body side
Hope this helps
@@NoelsysOutdoors thanks for the help but was asking about what bulb the reverse light was? But just found out i just need to take the old reverse bulb out and just put it in the new lights
Hey Noelsy
Great video. Do you have link to where you bought the globes from. Can only find ones for newer type of cluster
Thanks

this will link you to the t10 bulbs i used for the main dash colour
hope this helps cheers
Hi mate did it end up fixing your fuel low light indicator issue?
Yeah mate, light comes on just as you hit the "E"
what size where the lights for drive, 2, L, etc
i think those were t5 bulbs but i may be mistaken, a few other commenters have mentioned some differences to my video so yours may be the same
My D light has never come on. Thought it was just a function, as I wouldn't want bright lights at night.
That may infact be the case, some markets may need it others may not
Where did you buy the bulbs from
got them off ebay, but i think supercheap auto stock the t10 led for parker lights
