New Gauge Lights?

[McGarrh]

I am thinking of swapping the lights for my gauge with white leds. Would this work? Do you think it would look good?

I believe the color is blue when you switch to white.

How so?

 

[5.Woahhh]

The gauges only look green because the stock light is a yellowish color.

 

[McGarrh]

So whats tinting the light?

Can you post the part numbers for the LEDs that go into the dash? One of my lights burned out, and I wanna change them all to yellow LEDs to imitate the new edge back lighting, so it could match the autometer GS series better.

Theres a whole sticky on this.

The reason the light turns blue is because the tint on the gauges is blue. Blue + the yellow light from the stock lights = Green. When you put the white LEDs in, it looks BLUE. HOWEVER, some people have sanded the blue tint off and put in RED LEDs for a RED light... so, its possible to sand off the tint and use whatever color you want.

can you change the bulbs to LED's in the ac cluster as well?

Yes.

are there any articles on this process? Where is the best place to pick up the different colored LED's?

do you mean aftermarket gauges (ie autometer) or the stock gauge cluster? I'd imagine if you put white leds in some autometers they would be white

Autometer's are whatever color LED or cap you put in them. Unless it's one of the specialty gauges

[McGarrh]

Would new gauge face have the bule tint?

 

[duh09]

Yup

Take note you can sandpaper off the blue tint, at which point your gauge cluster will be the color of your LED's.
