i would like to replace the lights in my gauge cluster with red leds. i have read and seen that people have done this put cant find a how to or even pics. any help would be nice. also most important is do i have to take the needles off the gauges. this seems like a real pain in the @$$ to put them back correctly.

still hoping someone can help me here. anyone??

I've gotta agree with Timler. I want to swap LEDs into my gauge cluster in my 03 sunfire and I searched through that same thread you put the link up for and I can't find anything on the 2k and up clusters. Anything earlier than that I can find tons of info on how to do it, but all I can find about the 2k+ clusters is that people keep saying it's a pain in the ass to do. No one actually says what you specifically how to do it on a 2k+ cluster. I swapped a red LED into my shift indicator and it is waaaaay brighter. It's a 194# disc LED. They are the widest angle you can get and way brighter. I wish I could find them in green, but they only make them in red, amber, blue, and white...

from what ive read the only things i know are. you shouldnt remove the needles and i think other people have just stuck other led's in the board. i could be wrong though

i believe it was boltz22 or buzzsomething that did this, he had a write up about it on here, but the easiest way is to get really bright ones and just shove em in hte holes in the back of the cluster

Jason C. - i have found green leds a lot. try ebay. there is a site that you can get them for about 6 bucks shpped for 100 of them. of course you
need resistors for them but those are cheap at radio shack. i believe you need 470 ohm resistors.

cav420 - id take you up on that but my car is a daily driver so i need the cluster in my car. thanks anyway tho. thats a good price as far as im
concerned

I've tried quite a few LEDs off ebay and some kind of do the job, but these here were the best. I have a red one under my auto shifter and white ones in the mirror lights and dome, and they are super bright and cover way more area than regular LEDs. Only problem is they don't come in green. I asked them if they had any plans to make green ones if they could make a few for me in green if I paid a little more but they said there isn't a high enough demand for green ones for them to make them. I've tried other style LEDs in green and so far none of them did the job right except for the ones I put behind the HVAC.
