Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
The bulbs are white, the 'condom' covering them are green. Thus, easy to change over to red.

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
The gauges them selves have green tinting as well, if you shine a light through them they look mint colored. I'm wanting to do a plain LED white, just nice and simple and clean look... I haven't gotten anywhere yet, I don't like mint.

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
4 red - #74
2 red - #194
didn't remove any of the white backing on the cluster just plug in LEDS and re-install cluster

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
That looks pretty good. What about the green tinting, did you do anything with that?

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
What do the 2 bigger ones go to? Like if I want to do the tack and speedo blue and the rest red what would I have to do?

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
The two bigger ones go at the top of the tach and speedo and theres not really a way to light each gauge individually due to placement of lights. The smaller ones go on both sides of the tach and speedo kinda like, s b s s b s where s=smaller and b=bigger and there aren't really any dividers either.

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
Ok I found the smaller ones but I'm having trouble finding the bigger one. Does it matter which type goes in as long as it's 194

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
If you put blue ones in do you think I'll have to remove the green overlay thing?

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
from what i remember a while ago some one tried the blue ones and there were not as bright so yes, i would suggest removing the green film
Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
Awesome, thanks for the info! I've been wanting to do this, I hate the green, and red's easier on your eyes.
And Subie, it takes longer for your eyes to adjust at night from the blue light back to darkness, I would not recommend it, red will be the easiest on your eyes. But it's up to you, I can't see it being a huge issue, I know even the green bothers me though since I'm used to red.

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
Well i did a cluster mod to my car a LOONG time ago with blue bulbs.
All i did was take standard 194's and painted them with glass paint.
I did nothing reguarding prizm moding, just the grean domes off the lamps.
It does work but its bunk when you figure out that there are 2 more bulbs that need replacing.....
So im going to do this mod with blue LED's to see my results.

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
OK. Thanks
Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
If I was going to do orange/amber L.E.D.s would the green tint stuff be a problem? I've seen orange/amber gauges before and, personally, I like it the most with red being a close second.

Re: Size of LEDs for the cluster
I am just curious cause I'm trying to do this, is there anyone who could give me two part numbers? I want to try the blue or maybe the red but the bulbs I found I'm not sure are the right ones so I don't want to order the wrong ones can someone help me out?? And maybe post a few pictures on how to separate a cluster the proper way cause I'm a big guy and just don't want to end up ripping it apart and breaking shit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
