    I did the same exact bulb swap on my 06 subaru impreza 2.5i cluster. I just took cluster apart an used nail polisher remover & Q tips to remove the stock green film. Put red LED lights in an looks great. Completely worth it if anyone has thought about it.

      iCANON640 really? I’ve been dying to red, I have a red dome light that’s a little dull and I was afraid of the red cluster lights being the same. I have the ugly green ones in now lol thanks for the heads up!

    I've watched 3 other videos on how to get at the cluster. These guys completely ripped out the dash. I was intimidated as hell to do this project. So I investigated the situation and noticed the two screws in the dome. I haven't done the project yet, but now that I seen you do it, should be no problems. I just wanna know why those guys ripped EVERYTHING out!! Thank you.

    If you're going to go through the trouble of updating your lighting on your gauges to make them brighter and better you need to go to the one step distance and do the rest of the lights on the dashboard so everything looks OEM

    Pro Tip To See Any Color Led Through The Green Tint
    This requires you completely disassemble the gauge cluster. Use Q tips and Rubbing Alcohol or Nail Polish Remover. Takes about 30-45 minutes to complete.
    First what you want to do is once you have cluster out and you remove the front plastics covers go to the back of the cluster, you’ll see the white cover.
    Remove that and you’ll fully gain access to the mother board of the gauge cluster.
    Once there find and locate the 8 bent silver clips holding in the dash needles.
    Gently bend them straight and poke the center, place your hand in front and prepare to catch the needle side face because they will pop out!
    Next what you want to do is grab the 2 gauge faces (Fuel/Temp & Tac/Rpm’s ) and flip them around so you’re looking at the back of the needles/motor.
    You’ll see the numbers and green film that makes the cluster look green, use a q tip with some rubbing alcohol or nail polish remove and gently rub away the green film.
    DO NOT use a lot of pressure as you can damage the face by cracking it as it is thin.( Not to bad but you’ll see the crack when it’s installed again because ligjt will pass through it )
    NOTE this does take about 30-45 minutes to complete as you do need to go under more plastic pieces and be careful.
    NOTE if you put back together your cluster and one of the needles don’t work chances are you pressed to hard, there’s a clip under the needle that is used to press the gauge face, gently use a small flat head screw driver and push it back down as when you apply back pressure sometimes the clip can pop out and rub against the needle causing it not to swing properly.

    To my unfortunate surprise the cluster is tinted green lol, I tried to do white

    • @Owensti
      @Owensti Рік тому +3

      @BM-vb9bo late comment but if you want to see the white through the green, you need to completely take the cluster apart. The fuel and temp are one unit and the speed/rpm’s are one unit. If you flip it around to the the back and remove the white cover you’ll gain access to the mother board. There’s 8 clips holding the units in if you bend them gently and press on them they’ll pop out, you’ll want to have your hand in back so they don’t fall on the floor. Next grab the units and flip them around you’ll see the reverse side of the needles and numbers and also see the green/teal paint where the light passes through and makes the cluster look green. If you get some nail polish remover and some q tips you can very easily remove the green film. Just be very careful and be patient because it takes about a good hour to do it nice and clean. Also don’t press to hard because you can tear the black material as it is thin.
