half of mine old led in my dash board is out. i know the newest LED doesn't require solder. my question is, does anybody which type of led should i get. t3, t4 or t5?

any help from you guys would be great appreciate. also thank you in advance.

 

You talking about the cluster or all the other parts, the a/c controls, clock, traction control, and so on and so forth.

 

just the cluster

 

You cant just replace the bulbs with LEDs and get a good result. At the bare minimum, you should remove the film tint on the gauges, which will require work.

The real LED cluster requires soldering. Replacing the bulbs won't look that good.

 

on the 2nd gen fb page someone used a led strip and it looks good and requires little work relatively

 

Personally i would try using some LED Angle Eyes like these. They come in all sorts of sizes. You could get it to fit real good without any hot spots.

 

hm...angel eyes sounds pretty good idea. does anybody know what size do i need to get for the rpm, speed odometer and the gas/temp gauge? and what do i need to do to secure it so i wont fall off ?
this is the one i'm talking about

Size? Measure the overall dia of the clusters. Hold it in place with hot glue but Dont attach it to the gauge face backs.

 

Agree. You will get hot spots and dim areas. You need to add a ton of LEDs to get the desired look.

This is mine. Further down the page you will see how many mine had in it.

wwoowww, i didn't realize how much additional you added on. I think i might go with the angel light. who do you recommend i should get it from. but i kinda want to have 2 tones on each gauge. white on the bottom and blue on the top ( redline ).
again, thank you so much for ur input. really appreciate

 

Just buy White. Take the faces off carefully and strip the green coating off the back of them. From there you can use a sharpie or colored film to lay over the area you want different color. Or you could get RGB led halos and change them to any color you want when ever you want.

I usually get all my stuff from http://www.theretrofitsource.com

Or

But im sure you could get "cheaper" stuff elsewhere.
