Is it possible to run leds behind the gauges? Id love mine to light up red, Backlit… not shined on. I do have 2 very bright led strips i can use, and i have 50 bulbs i got off ebay that need a home lol. Would like to know before i go taking everything apart.
yup you can replace the regular bulbs through the back of the guage cluster with LEDs if thats what you mean… youre gonna need i believe 2 ‘194’ bulbs and 3 ‘24’ bulbs… if you wanna change the signal lights and all those other little indicators you’ll need a bunch of ‘74’ bulbs

you can probably wire up those LED strips at the top of the cluster (where there are 2 ‘74’ bulbs) that light up the needles
before you take out the cluster i suggest removing the speedo cable from the tranny first (theres a rubber boot you pull up, then there’s a spring clip thingy that you remove and then you can pull the cable out… take note of ‘groove’ at the end of the cable cuz you have to line it up the way it came out once you put it back in)
