LED Gauges & Interior Lighting

[brent0252]

Wasn't sure which thread to put this in so I put it here.

Has anyone with a Montero Sport put in like red/blue/green LED's in their Gauges and painted their Speedometer Needles like white or another color? I know people do this in like Scion tC's for example very often and was wondering if anyone had ever done it in a Tero or where you could do it at? Also interested in putting in blue LED's in the dome light and other lights. Is this possible?

ya its possible to put them into the interior. i have led bulbs in my map lights and i just ordered an led for my dome light. you can go to besthongkong.com to get great prices on led bulbs. i think you need 194's for the map lights. i had to go to another web site to get the dome light. i dont remember the number bulb for that one. i havent tried the guages yet but some one has im sure

don't get the led lights they sell at pep boys. i have blue led interior lights and they aren't bright enough. the hyper white lights for the front map lights look decent though.

ive done the needles and lit them up with led, werxed good, but im running indiglo gauges and dont see it thru the normal gauges. but i think the same light that iluminates the gauge is also the one for the needle. what i did was pull the needle out and sanded off the orange and left it clear, then when the lite is on it glows blue like the indiglows. i have a pic somewhere ill have to see if i can find it!
