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!!!
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.
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
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. 🤷🏻♂️😞
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?
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
Aye thus helps me bro im 15 just tryna learn and i am i think this is easier but im scared to do everything and then mess up something but i think everything will be good💯
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
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.
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
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!!
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
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?
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.
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?
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 am using LEDs but they are most likely a different size than your car's. Mine is a 98 Ford where yours is a Chrysler. I'd call Chrysler back and find out what type of light bulb your dash uses, then either tell me what size it is and I could try to find what you need it you could google that size of LED.
Great Video. Chipset led's are way better and don't melt with time. Those have metal pins, which are garbage. They melt and then the lights start turning off and on with time. Those LED's are cheapo's. i am sure that manufacture makes the chipset ones that don't have those wires. I would do your homework before buying cheap LED's, just FYI.
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?
@ the end of the video your highbeams light wouldn't come on when you did something. You then mention it needs to be looked at. Is that a previously existing issue or was that a direct cause of the installation? Sweet Video too btw, great how to I'm gunna apply to my 97 Explorer.
+Justin White it’s been over a year now. I think it just started working the next night. Probably was a loose connection or I just wasn’t fully paying attention and nothing was wrong in the first place.
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
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.

I'm having trouble finding out which size bulbs to use for a 02 Toyota Celica, any ideas? Great video btw!
Call up a dealer and ask what the replacement bulb size is
The lights you used you were pretty bright, do you mind me asking Where you got them from?
Nkhuwa Chiti the direct links are in the video description.
Sorry I’m new and I just bought my first car 2007 Dodge Charger, do led lights affect the battery?
Should not have an issue
The ones in your description do they fit any car or is it only a specific type of car
It depends on the car, but most should use the same two sizes. Just depends if they are all the same size or both of the 2 sizes
Just got a 02 mustang plan on doing this soon.
It is really worth it. Makes the gauges look so much better
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.

It should be the 2nd one, can't remember so don't go too fast and skip it by accident.
You're also able to get it to say the speed you're going or the RPM which is pretty cool.
I did not know that. Thank you!
SwordInc Np, there should actually be a video about it.
SwordInc th-cam.com/video/ykDfWvc9p3s/w-d-xo.html This guy explains it well
What does the speedometer do? I did what you said and what will it do if I change something with it?
personally, I would make sure I replaced the check engine, low tire, and seatbelt bulbs with pre-burned out ones....:)
Lol good point
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
White LEDs will work great if you want to keep the factory color. You could also scrape off the film, if you want to use a different color

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
