Anybody with an older Supra (or new I suppose) swap out bulbs in the dash gauges for LED's? I'm thinking about doing blue to match the blue LED accents I just installed, just wondering if it's possible.

I have not done it, but you can get direct replacement 12V led bulbs for sure. They are called #194 bulbs iirc.
Thanks for the heads up, I might tear into mine if I have time tonight to see what kind of room there is in there.
I just did some quick Google searches and the options are vast, there's a ton of choices at various price levels.
Make sure to update this thread if you get some.
You can get all sorts of different levels of brightness though...
red is more of a traditional color gauges...might contrast your blue nicely too
Your replacement incandescent lamps are probably also availible in blue. Check with your local NAPA store.

Red wouldn't be bad.. hmmmm
I think I would like to go with LED for sure though for the simple reasons of longer life, won't ever burn out probably, and they use far less energy... plus I was planning on doing an LED order for some other things anyway
dshaff, you wouldn't happen to have a picture of the blue ones you tried would you? Picture of your current set up?
I don't know if I'll go to the trouble if blue isn't going to be bright enough... but, my gauges really aren't that bright to begin with
