How-To: R32 Skyline LED Guage Cluster Conversion (Pics)

[bignate]

I have (3) #74 red (non inverted) leds left over from mine if anybody wants them $5 shipped PM me. I put the inverted #74 ones in my cluster and they were almost the same for the 2 hot-spots. It is always worse with red. Guys who did theirs blue dont seem to get the hotspots.

Mine are red, they turned out really nicely in the center cluster and not bad in the gauge cluster, a little dim but ok. It would have been nice to get some dim 74s but whatever. Maybe next time...

same here man, the nice write up was for a GTS so i only order the 5 bulbs for the cluster too. there are some different 74 LED bulbs out there that have refractors on the bulb itself to help spread the light. sadly they are $10 a piece, and still may not work. did you think the leds still weren't all that bright in the cluster? my center ones are nice and crisp just not the cluster ones

$10 each is alright with me, I just need the proper color and blend in. I found the gauge cluster to be dim, but I can live with it, I'll just need to install the proper (or close) 74s in the lower section.

Old picture but if anyone was wondering what red looks like... Red was very slick and good for night vision, but it was sometimes hard to get a quick glance of the guage reading out the corner of my eye. The bulbs I got were complete crap though, flickering and burning out.

Going to switch to white from http://cgi.ebay.com/White-dash-light...item1e5d0e8f99
