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

 

is that dash in your 5.0

 

White or blue?

 

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?

 

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

 

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!

 

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.

Thanks dude!

 

anytime!

 

Has anyone try these twist and lock leds for superbrightleds.com

 

i havent tried them but they have a relatively wide angle of light so they should work fairly well

 

mxnate116...ur dash looks sick but u need to work on those hot spots u got there...u want a smooth and even light spreading around ur cluster...those LED bulbs r laser type they throw light straight through instead of 360* thats why u have those hot spots there......

u need to buy one of these and yes they dont create hot spots!! guaranteed ...been there done there....

and here is the video of my 1992 Nissan Maxima SE with these bulbs installed in dash...ignore the other stuff in there...but i will do that to mustang as well lol

YouTube - BLUE DASH

i m going to do the same thing with Mustang and will make a write up...

 

that pic was a toyota truck i found on google, the how-to i posted has the guy using the refractor bulbs so there isnt hot spots

 

looks good on the maxima, when are you going to do the mustang? I'd like to see it so maybe i can do it

 

I don't think that is his dash, think he was just posting up what it looks like.

I will be looking forward to that write up.

 

that is my 1992 Nissan Maxima on youtube..if u want the link to MAXIMA.ORG i can search my old write up i made there and send u the link

soooo...194 is 100% the right size!?

should be as most of the cars has 194s in the dash and i havnt opened the mustang cluster yet to play around but use the bulbs i posted and u wont have any probs

i have other stuff to deal with in MUSTANG yet...like gauge showing overheating, headers gasket leak etc etc....gotta address the exterior mechanical and electrical stuff then i will turn to interior

 

soooo...194 is 100% the right size!?

 

Way cool.

BuuUUuUUuuMp!
one of my dash lights went out.
So what do you all think about these bulbs?! Right size? Good price? what is with all the led bulbs? There are like 5 bulbs per led.
Will 10 Leds be enough?
I will prolly end up doing a write up when i get them in.

 

10 bulbs should be more then enough according to this there is only 6

Sooooooo did anybody actually do there fox cluster yet? which bulbs did you do the wide 194 refractor types?

 

send me some bulbs and ill do a proper write up for you!
but yeah you want the refractor type. the 5led ones work good
