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

**mcnab** · 08-17-2006, 11:28 PM

I figured I would start a seperate thread for this for the article itself, as that way those who do it can post their results here, and also those with any questions about it can post in here as well.

Mods: If this isn't the right section please feel free to move this to the appropriate section.

I just made a seperate page for the DIY that way you can print it off for handy reference if you choose to do it.

Couldn't you just install all of the bulbs at the same time and check once for the bulbs that don't work, instead of having to do it five times over?

Also, are the center console bulbs the same size (the ones in the three guage cluster)?

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in the article when I explain that part. What I meant to say was plug the 3 connectors in the back and keeping putting 1 bulb in at a time. There' enough room that you can keep the 3 connectors plugged in and keep popping bulbs in the back, so you don't have to actually undo the cluster everytime you put a bulb in.

REgarding the centre console guages, I don't actually know since I dont' have a GT-R. Perhaps someone with a GT-R could pop it out and tell us what bulb size they are (194 or 74) or maybe even another size.

Very very nice. Thank you for sharing. I have always been wanting to do the LED conversion and have seen the Japanese to change all the interior light sources. That's was very impressive.

Anyway, great job, well done. 8) --- time the put the sun glasses on...so so bright :wink:

Thanks mcnab! Definitely something anyone can do, if they have the will. It's not something that requires a lot of skill. Thanks for the great How To!
