[PFYC]

The killer new product you have been waiting for!

INTRODUCTORY OFFER - from now until Sunday, Dec. 4, 2011, save 10% on these LED kits with promo code LEDMYDASH!

For over 10 years, our customers have been asking us, "How can I change the color that my car's speedometer and gauge cluster lights up at night?" For over 10 years we have sadly had to say, "Sorry, it's not possible without a lot of custom work, or maybe not at all." Those days are over.

Tired of the dim lighting in your vehicle's stock speedometer? Got a light burned out? We have the best solution: LEDs! Upgrade your speedometer to virtually everlasting and very bright LEDs or just put them in and change the color of your stock dash.

Do it Yourself

This can be an easy upgrade for your speedometer. Some are as easy as a twist in / twist out bulb swap. Replace your old bulbs with the latest LED technology and never replace them again. These LED are capable of lasting between 25,000 and 100,000 hours of use. Replace them once, then never again.

Get the LED advantage

Each of these have been specially designed to give the best color and lighting specific to speedometers. The manufacturer is an expert and OEM-quality manufacturer of speedometer faces and now bulbs. These LEDs have a higher light output, less energy consumption and operate 75% cooler than a traditional light bulb already installed in your dash. Get the best available!

We even offer installation if you are hesitant to do this yourself or can't find a shop who can or will do it for you!

Just a caveat for our cars... the cluster backlight bulbs are surface-mount soldered on. Not the twist-bayonet mount bulbs like the ones pictured above.

True, we just don't have a decent photo of the surface mount. One thing we do offer is installation service for those who have surface mount and don't want to (or can't) solder it themselves. As upgrades go, this is one that many people have been asking about for years, and now that it's finally here I don't want the installation to be what keeps interested customers from going for it.

Is this just a color change for the LEDs in a Sky? I need something significantly BRIGHTER during the daytime. Is there a mod for this? (Don't do much night driving). Bo

These are brighter than stock bulbs.

Do you happen to have some tech specs on the leds? Voltages, currents, etc. It looks like a bit of work and I want to make sure its worth the effort.

Bo, Just taking the complete dash off is work.....
Then you need to be careful removing the needles on the gauge cluster in order to remove the face plate before removing and soldering these tiny LED's...
PartsForYourCar.com has an option that you can send the gauge cluster to an address they provide in order to do the mounting of these LED's. Don't know how much they would charge for this work....
Good-Luck and let us know how it turned out!

It's brighter, but if you can maybe get some night time and day time shots of your cluster with the lights on, I might be able to get some of the cluster with the LED installed.

The LEDs are 3.2V, stepped down from 12V with a built-in resistor.

We've got the installation service listed right on the ordering page. It's $49 with purchase of the LEDs.

I don't have PFYC's leds, so this may be apples-oranges, but I do have replacement LEDs in my cluster. They will dim a little bit, but not as much or as linearly as the original bulbs do. Basically it's bright; less-bright; off.

[PFYC]

The manufacturer tested the LEDs on 8 different vehicles and the dimmer worked in those cases. I'm not certain if what TomatoSoup described applies to all LEDs, or if that's specific to the kind he has.
