HOW-TO: 03-06 NBS Gauge cluster LED conversion

[dsmwookie]

Just go to Radioshack, buy a couple, and do it. Took me an hour with a copper braid to soak up old solder and then attach them back.

I recently installed LED SMD interior lights and I couldn't imagine the entire interior being LED. Looks like you are almost there

Let me know if you're ever in NY

What is wrong with doing the white LEDs?? And what resistors will be needed to still be able to use the dimmer?? Thanks

Very cool looking!! One question though, Can you still use the dimmer switch to dim the new LED's?

Yes, the dimmer will still work.

Thanks for the tutorial, this is great!

Is there a way to change the color of the turn signal indicators? Currently they are green, but I was thinking of going with green for my dash colors and want the turn signals to contrast the rest of the dash so that they stand out.

I had assumed that this was a lens color and part of the 'overlay', but I saw a video online of someone who had done this conversion and they had blue turn signals. However I could not find any info about this.

gel film for stage lights.

You can always wire in a new colored LED as well. If it is an incandescent bulb then you just need the gel sleeve to slide over the bulb.

Does it matter what watt resistors... 1/4, 1/2, 1???

Im doing red leds. 510 _ _ _ watt resistors...?

Hey Scotty, do you know how to replace the motors that operate the gauges mines out, if so how much would you charge?

I want to get the LEDs, about how long will it take you? I live in Louisiana right outside Baton Rouge. I could express mail it to you. Shoot me a pm on how to get into contact with you. Thanks
