LED bulbs behind the gauges

91 fox · September 30th, 2009, 04:00 PM

How all have replaced the org bulbs with leds and do you have pic.

mxnate116 · September 30th, 2009, 08:26 PM

work on that english

but just take the bulbs out and replace with the wide white 194 LED's
here's kinda what it'll look like

Redux · September 30th, 2009, 08:32 PM

White or blue?

mxnate116 · September 30th, 2009, 08:39 PM

white. the tint on the gauge face is blue, when the yellow light passes through it turns green. when you use pure white light (led) its blue through the gauge face

Interesting. Never knew that.

I have always wanted the stock gauges but with a red tint. Been scared to though because I am sure I would screw something up.

That and I would have to somehow get rid of the blue tint.

zatrekaz i think is his username, he made a thread about doing red gauges in the electronics section, not sure how it turned out but you could look into that.

Thanks. Don't know how I missed it.

For those who's interest are peaked by this thread

sorry about that. I just was in a hurry to put it up before i left for work. Does anyone have pics of the fox gauges with leds?

mxnate116 · October 1st, 2009, 01:30 AM

i searched google for them but didnt find any pics, send me the leds and ill take some pics for you haha

laztug · October 1st, 2009, 01:49 AM

looks good mxnate, do you have a link for the led's? I would love to do this to my stang!
only thing i dont like about it is that 2k rpm and 90 mph look a little too bright. other than that it looks great!

mxnate116 · October 1st, 2009, 01:55 AM

i dont think that guy used the right type of bulb, your supposed to use the refractor type like the ones in the link, the price is for 100 bulbs so dont be freaked out by it.
