i am gonna do led instead of the indglow gagues. But i just wanted to know how many leds do i need to get to do the cluster?

 

You need 10. I'm thinking about doing the same. Either Blue, Green, Or red. Haven't decided yet.

 

ooo ok cuz some one told me 7 for the 96 i am doin blue but i am also doin all the other back lights blue liek the havc and the shifter

 

you'll need 7 for 93-97 and 5 for 98-02
you can get 10 bulbs and have 3 spear or put them into the glove compt. ot an ashtray but you'll need only 7 for the gauges anyways

 

Be careful which ones you buy, there are the 1-point and 4-point designs. I have the 4-point ones and am a little unhappy with them. They only shine light straight ahead and not all around, so on a 97 or older 4th gen you wont get very good light distribution around the gauges. BTW I am using the MacEwen white overlays as well, which may add to the problem (shining through two layers of lexan instead of just one).

I have a pic of the setup at night, however it looks MUCH nicer than in real life, the camera uses a long exposure time at night and gathers up a lot of light, making the picture look brighter and better than the real thing. If anyone wants a copy of the pics, give a holler.

I've hear the 1-point bulbs do a better job of dispersing the light. They have an inverted clear cone on the end of the led wich helps light up a wider area.

Just my 2 cents..

 

any one got pics of the finished product

 

does any one know what size the bulds are for like the headlight swtich panel and the hvac and shifter are?

 

Recollection tells me that a single 194 bulb is used to illuminate the hvac controls but dont quote me on that. I couldn't find the bulb on the headlight switch panel. seems like it was buried deep in there.
Sorry this post was not much use, but maybe it will spark some conversation
