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

[TheAutumnWind]

I know I'm 6 months late, but try lightly sanding the LEDs before installation. It should diffuse the light more evenly.

Good suggestion.

I need to pull mine apart since the PRND light is out. Will likely try this. My soldering skills need some work...

Any ideas which resistor would work best for white leds?

I do not do radios, or any airbag shutoff switches. I also do not do 00-02 clusters.
I can do a 03-06 cluster for $50
I charge $50 to do a dash AC control panel, and $40 for each overhead rear ac control
Headlight switch-$30
Rear wiper/foglight switch -$20
4x4 switch-$30
Traction control switch-$20
Sunroof switch-$20
Homelink buttons inbroof console-$35
Steering wheel controls -$40 for all 4
Drivers door master window/lock/mirror switch-$40
Power mirror switch -$20 (00-02 only) its part of the window switch on 03-06
Passenger door window/lock switch-$30
Rear door power window switches-$20 each

I only do blue. I tried red and white and they looked like crap so I ain't ******* with them anymore. Blue gives the best results.

Bummer, white doesn't look good?

If anyone needs blue,green,red or white LED's that DO NOT require using a resistor, let me know. I can get them for 2003-2006 GM clusters and 1999-2002 GM Trucks and full size SUV's.

intrigued

Could You please tell me how many ohms that resister is?

 

[chaplainkirkpatrick]

Could you tell me exactly what LED's and resistor you use and where you order them from?

How are you doing guys?

Well I decided to replace the bulbs with some leds I ordered from ebay

I can get these to turn on with a 9v battery but when I connect it back to the dash they wont turn on

Can someone help me out?

I would double and triple check that the polarity is correct. If that is not the issue, then make sure you have voltage at the dash plug. Could be the dimmer switch is turned all the way down, or a bad fuse.

i had them reversed

thanks for the help

does anyone know where i can buy a PRNDL lcd screen?
mine does not work

unless its just a bad solder connection?

 

[Moose912]

was the question of where to buy and what to buy ever answered? like flat top vs dome top? how many ohm/amp resistor?

05 Yukon cluster dead

I just completed the Led swap and i was repositioning a few of the Led's and all of a sudden the entire cluster went dead except the led's. I have checked all the fuses and they are good. Also, if I start the car the check engine light comes on then goes out.
None of the gages work either. Any ideas???

I switched my cluster over to blue led's two weeks ago. I will post pics later. If anyone wants it's done on theirs provided it's a 2003-2007 GM, hit me up.
