I tried changing the bulbs in my gauges and turn signals to LEDs today...I was somewhat successful in that I got the bulbs to light up...however..after a few minutes of driving they went crazy. If i turned on the parking lights, my front passenger turn signal would not light up but the right blinker would stay lit on the guage. If i turned on my headlights, the front turn signal would not light up along with the rear driver side signal. Its too dark now so I will check the fuses tomorrow.

Also, it took me a few tries to get the gauge bulbs all working..during one of the initial attempts...I smelled something burning when I turned the key. It seem to come from near the steering wheel/ignition. I tried to poke around to see if anything was lose..but everything seemed fine. After the 3rd or 4th time I put back the dash and steering wheel cover.. it went away. I hope have not done any permanent damage.

When I was testing the LEDs in the gauges...I made sure to plug everything back in ( fog/cruise/moon roof connections plus all the connections for the radio/ac/etc ) to avoid turning on the SRS light...is this correct?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions to fix my problems.

 

well i switch the front signal LEDs back to the original bulbs...and everything seems fine now. The gauges look much nicer now.

 

try rotating the leds 180 degress when pluggin them.....they work only 1 way.

 

I would suggest flipping the bulbs around, also the turn signal bulbs will rapid blink because the load on the circuit isn't the same as a filament bulb fyi

 

WHere did you get the bulbs for the gauges? DId you have to soider anything?

 

yeah i wanna try to do this where did you get the leds? diy?
