Old Supra Gauges to LED

[chrisk]

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.

ive done it.. works good.. I did a bright white because the blue was dim

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
