Although I have a different type car, I suppose the principle is the same. Thank you for taking the time to post and share how to do this project. I want to put blue LEDs in my dash cluster lights. I don't think they have ever been changed, and some are going out, so it is a good time to replace bulbs. Thanks again.
100% agree he’s super helpful, the smaller you tubers are the best with stuff like this because they show the whole process and explain the small stuff
DUUUUDE!!!! They turned out AMAZING!!! Better than I thought actually. I have a similar type dash in my dodge stratus and I'm bout to head out RIGHT NOW!!! to go do this...sick!!!
Good job, also I’ve had my high beams not stay on before like at the end of this video, thought it was the fuse, but it was the wiring in the light switch Can you post the link for the heating and shifter led light switch you did?
LED also has color temperature with narrow range. This means that the gauge needles may not conduct/reflect the LED light if the color temp. range is off. Users might try different kinds of LED bulbs to find the best effect for yourself.
I ordered exactly what you used. I’ve done LED conversion externally & internally on a couple of my cars/trucks, but never on the instrument panel. However, the T5 (small bulbs) must be getting a minute amount of residual voltage because when I start the car, several of them are staying dimly lit on my ‘97 Mustang GT. 🤷🏻♂️😞
Mikegolden Garage: Dang, dude! That is an impressive job you did there. And 3:50 is exactly the problem I was having and couldn't figure out the solution. Thanks for posting!
Though way you explained everything in this video is how it should of been explained I loved it and now I know what I can do with my car because I was looking to do this to my Mitsubishi Lancer but when people made videos there was a means specific and you were extremely specific thank you very much and I'll be looking forward from any videos you made
Thank you for saying that! I haven’t been on this channel in about a month. I daily upload on mikegolden Games. So it is some pretty different content. I’m really glad to hear this helped you out!
good video man really helped me out just picked up a 02 v6 mustang and I have pretty big plans for it first off is looks then little more performance mods but gonna keep the 3.8 in it might do a turbo but if I do i definitely want to make it a 5 speed just auto now
Does the cluster have a color filter for the indicator lights? I noticed the seatbelt light looks kind of purple, which might be from the blue LED you used going through a red film in the clusters. I'm thinking of just getting white LEDs for them and keep whatever color the cluster has for them
I would recommend doing a google search on the bulb size. As for how many you need, pop the gauge out and see how many are in there. You may have multiple size bulbs as well
Definitely one of the most helpful videos! Quick question though. For a pick up that has the green film on the back of the cluster, do you know how to take that film off so the true color shows thru? If I do white like I want it’s still just going to show up green. 😅 thank you!
I have no idea how I didn't see your comment until now, TH-cam being TH-cam I suppose. If you didn't figure it out by now, you can scrape off the green film
Great job bro!! Question, do you have a video of how to change the color of the numbers? Mine are green and I would like to make it blue as well, thanks.
I don’t, but you can scrape off the colored filament and it will shine through the color of the LED. You can also use a transparent but opaque paint to diffuse the LED light. At this time, I’m not sure what kind of paint to use. I may look into doing that though
Are these dimmable? I wouldn't want them that bright all the time. I sure do like that blue backlighting. Aren't some of the warning indicators yellow?
It depends on the color LED you use. If you want to, you can use white LEDs and paint the color you want onto the dash. I don’t remember what type of pain though
I'm doing these t5 blue for my 18 wheeler and they work when I have my parking lights on once I put on my headlights they shut off already replaced the relay and the two fuses and still do the same any other suggestions would be helpfull!helpful!! First time ever I haven't figured electrical out in a vehicle lol
Since I own a Ford I got a 2005 Ford Explorer wanting to go with red but are these the same bulbs u would use in my 05 like your mustang I don’t know what I need to get or if there diffrent
Hey man i’m going to be doing this to my mazda b2500 and i looked at the link to the t10 lights and on amazon it says they are white yet the ones in the vid are blue, did they stop making blue?
How to know what type of lights i have? for example, T5, i don't know how to know what's my socket type of lights, i have a 1995 Dodge Grand Caravan. Thanks for your video
Correct me if I have not been listening properly but I don't recall you stating the model numbers of these replacement bulbs. There appears to be two different types of bulbs apart from the colours eg: main instrument lights & smaller warning lights, high beam, turn indicators etc, etc!! NO use me even thinking about changing these unless I know what LED bulbs to buy in the first instance!! Sadly this video has not helped me very much!!
That looks cool. Just about every video that I have watched where people have done this there always seems to be a hot spot or two in them. There seems to be zero hot spots in yours. Is the reason for that that you used better bulbs?
Landon Haga your gauges probably have a tint to them for example my gauges had a green tint to it so the colour red did not show at all but when I did blue it was showing perfectly
I'm going to put green dashlights in my Honda civic ex coupe 2002 because the red lights have been giving me headaches and some how red white and blue makes your headaches bad and green some how gets red of headaches pain
I have an 01 Mustang GT, I am aware that the bulb size is T5, but my question is can I just plug and play the bulbs without any problems? Because I see a lot of people talking about “you have to sand out the green film” and others that say “you don’t have to sand out anything”. Any advice?
I have a 04 mustang and the led for the main gauges was also T5 only my HVAC unit is T10s not sure if it's only cuz my car is like that or all 99-04 GTs have a T5 bulb but hope this helps
Cristian Ramos nope for my gauge cluster I used T5s for the whole thing and I would recommend using blue as because of the green filter on the gauge face red does not show at night at all but blue is very visible. use T10 only for the HVAC unit
did you get a chance to write down the polarity of the lights? it would be great to post a polariy diagram so we don't have to keep testing each light.
I just saw your comment now, any update on your lights? Did you get them working? Did you try them out while it's dark out? During the day, it may not look like there working
Yeah same for me. I did it on my Pontiac Grand am. The needles light up but the numbers don't :( could there be a red film inside that I might need to remove?
I don't have a CD changer in my Cobra and the radio that was in it was all wired wrong. I have no idea who installed it, but there were wires everywhere and all cut up too. Wires spliced together that should not have been. A huge mess.
Darian Bogart if you're changing to an aftermarket radio you can just get a 99-04 aftermarket radio plug and play connection and from them splice and clamp your wires together it isnt hard i didn't bought no plug and play i just clamp wire to wire, most of it its color coded You can search online the radio wiring diagram and from there just splice to your aftermarket radio
Darian Bogart, The easy estate way to change the radio is to get a package of scotch locks so you don't need to cut any wires at the radio. For the speakers, most likely you will add an amp so use the speaker output wires from the new radio and run new wires (14 - 16 gauge) to your speakers. Remove the wire connector from the speakers that go to your old radio and leave them right where they are and connect your new speaker wires using spade connectors. Job done and none of the original wires are cut or messed up so later if you decide to reconnect the stock speakers and radio you can do so very easily all you would need to do is remove the scotch locks from the power lines connecting to the original radio power and ground which you use to power the new radio . P.S. DO NOT CUT the original radios shielded speaker wires. They are not needed and a lot easier to run new speaker wires from your new radio.
I’ve seen u reply so maybe u can help me lol I installed new lights into my 99 cobra but while I was at it I swapped the odometer face to the terminator face but I took the needles off and now the needles either get stuck in place or they don’t move. Any tips on how to fix? Thank you
Mike, did you remove or leave the green film behind the gauges for this outcome? Fords are notorious for that, but they seem to be exactly the result I'd hoping for in my Explorer
@@SwordInc thanks. I kinda already set myself up for having to sand down the film. I'll be installing white face overlays and figured I would do a LED upgrade/ color change while I had the cluster out. Appreciate the content bro.
If you wanna test all bulbs, hold the button that resets the miles while the car is completely off then while you hold it down, turn the key to the on position (not the start position) then wait until it says "test" on the odometer. Once that has happened, let go of the button and you will now be able to switch it to different modes, keep pressing the reset button until you get to the mode that says "bulb test." It should be the 2nd one, can't remember so don't go too fast and skip it by accident.
question i have a 2003 ls 430 i took out the dash but for some reason the bulbs aren’t in the back like most models of cars i tried opening it front and back but still couldnt seem too find em
I have a question if you have a check engine light bulb that is on but you don't have your catalytic converters and the light stays on but you know nothing is wrong can you pull that bulb out and leave it out and everything still work so you don't have to look at that check engine light staying on all the time?
LOL I'll be in good shape with that I work at a lube shop where I can have my inspections done without even having my car here so that's what I was needing to know I appreciate it man that was very helpful but I do like the idea of the LED bulbs I'm going to do green in mind since my car is black trim them bright green
Thank you for subbing. When there are no street lights it can be pretty bright but you can just turn the light knob and dim it. Works the same as regular lights. I just installed some Halo HID headlight and will be uploading the video some time this week.
So if I bought a pack of red lights to change the color of my dash and turn signal indicators, do I have to get different sizes? Or should they all be the same? I have a 2013 Honda Accord
“whoop..shoot” was my favourite quote of the video
Lol thank you!

Hi is there anyway to change the cluster needle lights? Ive changed mine but the red sticks arent lit or are low powered
You could probably find different colored needles. But the light is part of the main bulbs
Was it really that easy to change out the color? No soldering?
Yep
the dash bolts for the trim around the cluster and the gauges are actually torques bits
you can use star bit # 20 or 7 mm socket
thanks....I'll be looking out for that video...very helpful
Glad to hear it. I may should be able to get it up tonight. If not, tomorrow then.
Ok thanks
+Joseph Jackson I'm not going to be able to get it done tonight. The center unit is bolted to tight and I don't have a long enough tool to loosen it
Shouldn't you disconnect the battery as it could interfere with the airbag?
The dash does not have anything to do with the airbag. Maybe on some other cars, but not this one
Doing this on my 2004 crown vic. Wanna update the cluster a bit
Sweet! I hope you enjoy it
Did you end up doing that @julian hoolian
Bro I have Ford mustang I want remove the fog from head lamp can u pls tell me how open the headlights
I have a question if you have a check engine light bulb that is on but you don't have your catalytic converters and the light stays on but you know nothing is wrong can you pull that bulb out and leave it out and everything still work so you don't have to look at that check engine light staying on all the time?
I’m mean, yes, you can remove the bulb, but if you have to do emissions, you will fail
LOL I'll be in good shape with that I work at a lube shop where I can have my inspections done without even having my car here so that's what I was needing to know I appreciate it man that was very helpful but I do like the idea of the LED bulbs I'm going to do green in mind since my car is black trim them bright green
Can you see the color blue in the day time?
Sort of, but not very well
Are the "main" lights the same size as the turn signal type lights? I have a 2000 mustang GT
I believe the ‘99 and up switched over to the smaller T5 bulbs
Are these bulbs universal for all american vehicle dashes?
For the most part, yes. After 2010 or around there a lot of cars began changing over to soldered LEDs from the factory though.
Awesome, subbed. I have a 1997 Rio Red Cobra and I am doing this to my car this weekend. Do you find that its to bright at all?
Thank you for subbing. When there are no street lights it can be pretty bright but you can just turn the light knob and dim it. Works the same as regular lights. I just installed some Halo HID headlight and will be uploading the video some time this week.
Awesome Ill look out for it.
So easy thanks bro
No problem! I'm glad I could help!
So if I bought a pack of red lights to change the color of my dash and turn signal indicators, do I have to get different sizes? Or should they all be the same? I have a 2013 Honda Accord
I would call your Honda dealer and ask what the bulb size is. They may be the same, or they may not. It depends on the make and model
