LED gauge mod

[Shortgun]

I wanted to change the colors of my leds in the gauges in the dashboard but im still undecided on the colors i want to use. I was thinking of doing either white or blue numbers with either blue or white needles. Can someone post some pics of theirs so i can get an idea of what i wanted to do. Thanks. Btw how long do these LED usually last before they burn out?

If soldered correctly, the led's will outlast the truck.

im interested too i would be diggin some blue/red LED gauges.how hard is this assuming i am mechanical inclined enough to take apart my dash lol

 

[Shortgun]

i was talkin to mixplate_xr and he was saying that he could do it but i gotta get the leds first. I havent really decided on colors yet and am taking any suggestions. Im really bad at anything electrical so the most id be able to help do would be to pull my dash.

Thank you sir! I've been looking for this for the past 2 days.

These were mine in Ol'Blue. did them myself ,you have to take everything apart and unsolder and solder like 12 or 14 tiny led's . If you havent ever worked on circuit boards Dont attemp this!!

Then with the new face plate.

I'll add this link for you guys. This guy will do the color swap for you if you can't/don't want to do it yourself. If nothing else there are alot of different pics of colors that he's done.

Did you have any issues with your needles after changing out the LEDs?

 

[shane881510]

LEDs won't work

do u have a close photo of stock led. I got my LEDs posistion wrong. lights won't work

I went with the white, left the needles red. White with blue needles would look killer.
