Thanks for the video. When I did this, I had some that weren't lighting up. I had to disassemble again. The key is to make sure to note the orientation of the word "Toshiba". They should all be going the same way. The LED can go into the base whichever way, it is just the base that only works one way. It fits both ways which can trick you. This will make it quicker and ensure that all light up the first time. If not, you can just try flip flopping them while the cluster is hanging by the cables.
I just did this tonight and noticed the base markings were all lined up the same. So I think you are right about this. I did have two leds that I had to pull and flip, but they may just not have been seated properly. And for everyone out there doing this, you really have to push down on the leds to get them into the Honda OEM bases.
Nice how-to video, man - cool how these Elements are so easy to work on. If I followed you correctly you should have used the #74 LEDs for the HVAC panel lights....and NOT the #84 LEDs which were too large
Hi There Thank you for your video , Today I do the same your way but I don't know after install all 9 light bulb turn key on but the lights not ON ??? and now my won't start look like no power ? I check battery still power ,why ??? can you help fix that problem ? Thank you so much !!!! Tim
I did a similar mod to my HVAC lights I just purchased individually these and drilled out the long tube and put the lights at the top and it works fantastic and I did Green LEDs behind my gauge cluster looks awesome
Worked on my dash, didn’t want to mess wit the HVAC adaptation, but my cluster dash looks awesome! Thanks dude. Edit I decided to get the bulbs for the HVAC on eBay
Also tried getting factory cluster bulbs and those seem to work but LEDs no matter what color or LEDs the same 3 areas light up. The speedometer and 80mph section. Top bad I can't send you a picture.
Try to reverse the orientation of the bulbs that aren't on, so from upright to downwards or downwards to upright. The polarity of the lights is most likely not matched up with cluster.
I don’t know what the originals are, sorry. The led bulbs I put in are starting to fail. A couple of them are going in and out. It could be a connection issue, but I will diagnose it soon.
Bought the same lights for my 2004 Element, change all the light bulbs and none of them work... I tested the lights outside and the lights work, but when plugged In the cluster the wont go on 😭 checked the fused box all is in good condition, the factory light were lighting up... any idea on what could be ?
Try pulling the bulbs out and reversing the direction you have them in. When I did it, only half of them worked because the other half were in the wrong way.
I bought some led light from Amazon and they dont work.So what you saying is they would work I just need to install them into the old socket and not the one that came with the new one I got
I need help as well, i changed my cluster lights and only 3 sections of the cluster light up. i been struggling with this for ever. it would make my year if i can get some help!!! :-(
613lcd did you use led lights? Try pulling them out and rotating them 180 degrees and reinstall them. The (+) and (-) must be right for led lights to work.

Thank you for the advice.

Careful with that gage cluster. I heard the the needles fall off easy!
Well I’m glad I didn’t figure that out the hard way. Thanks for the tip!

I want to switch mine for red led’s . Is that a different part number?
If no one else has mentioned it, let me be the first to say that the music was horrid ! ! ! Otherwise, a decent video.
Agreed. Good video. Please lose the music.
The music was the best part!
Music was good
I have no idea what you did because you used thousands of words to describe how to make the bulbs fit rather than show us with pictures.
really really really bad video.
I just want lights that work.
Hi There
Thank you for your video , Today I do the same your way but I don't know after install all 9 light bulb turn key on but the lights not ON ??? and now my won't start look like no power ? I check battery still power ,why ??? can you help fix that problem ? Thank you so much !!!! Tim
so those leds worked for the gray clips too? do you have an updated link? Amazon link says no product available.
I did a similar mod to my HVAC lights I just purchased individually these and drilled out the long tube and put the lights at the top and it works fantastic and I did Green LEDs behind my gauge cluster looks awesome
They look nice that's the color I want for my 2004 element looks like I got a little job ahead of me lol. Hey thanks for putting this video on here.
Steve Ash just did mine today, is a little blue
Very nice to you
What is the light panel for?…my Honda has not.
Use rubber vacuum hose to remove the lights. Simple and it works.
Thanks for the tip
Im guessing you cant dim them now. The auto tune music drove me nuts. BTW
They can be dimmed.
very nicely done vids... you definitely could monetize your efforts with some companies
Thank you! I would like to work with some companies. One day maybe.

AVAC is simple as well. I've done it in 2 tries - It works well

Super cool
Are the original bulbs 921s in the element? How are these LEDs holding for you now that you've installed them?
I don’t know what the originals are, sorry. The led bulbs I put in are starting to fail. A couple of them are going in and out. It could be a connection issue, but I will diagnose it soon.
@@ElementofAdventure good. Please keep us posted.
I can’t find those bulbs on their site
When you began dis-assembly I only saw your arm.

I have a 2004 E. When I click on the link Amazon tells me it does not fit ‘04 Elements. Could this be why?
@@lolinpinguin i havent try another one but maybe thats why...
I bought some led light from Amazon and they dont work.So what you saying is they would work I just need to install them into the old socket and not the one that came with the new one I got
According to the video he did switch them out using the original socket with the new bulb
Are these lights dimmable?
Yes, you can dim them.
I need help as well, i changed my cluster lights and only 3 sections of the cluster light up. i been struggling with this for ever. it would make my year if i can get some help!!! :-(

Are they blue or green?
Trying to take out those bulbs were almost as bad as assembling ikea furniture!
Nah cuz most cars clusters arent even bulbs
What is that light panel with 6 buttons on it you have?
It is the control panel to my relay box for lights.
Where did he get is my question?
If you could redo that hvac set up part that would be really helpful thats where im stuck
I will try to get that done.
Thank you also did you replace the smaller bulbs below the ones you changed to led?
I did not change those. I might see if I can use the same LEDs for those so that I can make a video showing exactly what I did.
Nate Roezilla that would be awesome would really like to see that video
I posted a new video. I hope that helps you out!
👍👍👍👍 thanks
