D.I.Y. - How to Install LED Dash Upgrade | Updated
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
- I show you how to FULLY upgrade your current lighting in your vehicle dash cluster. Specifically in this video I show you on a 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra. First I replace all of the old bulbs for the main gauges, with the newest Yorkim version 6 LED lights. I then install Jtech LED lights for the warning lights and turn signals.
The red LEDs did not seem to show through the face plate, so I just went with the Blue and Green LEDs.
I also want to thank all of my viewers from my previous LED Dash video. I hope this video is to your liking and is better than my last, so let me know what you think in the comments.

“whoop..shoot” was my favourite quote of the video
Lol thank you!
Mines is black ones are the biggest lights in there 🙃
Although I have a different type car, I suppose the principle is the same. Thank you for taking the time to post and share how to do this project. I want to put blue LEDs in my dash cluster lights. I don't think they have ever been changed, and some are going out, so it is a good time to replace bulbs. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching. I'm glad I could help
@@SwordInc Awesome Work!
Does there type of led for the dash fit in any dash like 2011 p71
DUUUUDE!!!! They turned out AMAZING!!! Better than I thought actually. I have a similar type dash in my dodge stratus and I'm bout to head out RIGHT NOW!!! to go do this...sick!!!
I’m glad you liked it. How did it turn out?
This is the most epic dash mod I've ever seen. Well done. Just subbed bro!
Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear it!
I really respect how you talk out what you do man subbed
Thank you! I’m glad to hear that!
100% agree he’s super helpful, the smaller you tubers are the best with stuff like this because they show the whole process and explain the small stuff

good video man really helped me out just picked up a 02 v6 mustang and I have pretty big plans for it first off is looks then little more performance mods but gonna keep the 3.8 in it might do a turbo but if I do i definitely want to make it a 5 speed just auto now
I’m glad I could help
Mikegolden Garage: Dang, dude! That is an impressive job you did there. And 3:50 is exactly the problem I was having and couldn't figure out the solution. Thanks for posting!
I'm glad I could help!
thank you so much These bulbs are perfect for my atlantic blue 98 mustang
Sweet! I’m glad I could help!
LED also has color temperature with narrow range. This means that the gauge needles may not conduct/reflect the LED light if the color temp. range is off. Users might try different kinds of LED bulbs to find the best effect for yourself.
That is true
Thanks for this tutorial! I just got my first car (a black 2012 Nissan Sentra) I’m going to try this!
Thank you for watching and commenting! Did you do the install?
i have the same car 😁 lmk if u did it i want to replace the orange with pink lol
Thanks for this informative video
Astronutski I'm glad I could help
Though way you explained everything in this video is how it should of been explained I loved it and now I know what I can do with my car because I was looking to do this to my Mitsubishi Lancer but when people made videos there was a means specific and you were extremely specific thank you very much and I'll be looking forward from any videos you made
Thank you for saying that! I haven’t been on this channel in about a month. I daily upload on mikegolden Games. So it is some pretty different content. I’m really glad to hear this helped you out!

@@SwordInc fine this was recomended to me n i am like why no more vids here tho
I should have watched this first, I ended up buying all T10s!
At least they don’t cost that much. Lol. Good luck on the swap!
THATS SICK
Thank you!
Good video bro damn lights look good!!!
Thank you!
Thanks great video
+asdfghjkljr6 glad you liked it
Definitely one of the most helpful videos! Quick question though. For a pick up that has the green film on the back of the cluster, do you know how to take that film off so the true color shows thru? If I do white like I want it’s still just going to show up green. 😅 thank you!
I have no idea how I didn't see your comment until now, UA-cam being UA-cam I suppose. If you didn't figure it out by now, you can scrape off the green film
thanks....I'll be looking out for that video...very helpful
Glad to hear it. I may should be able to get it up tonight. If not, tomorrow then.
Ok thanks
+Joseph Jackson I'm not going to be able to get it done tonight. The center unit is bolted to tight and I don't have a long enough tool to loosen it
Verry verry good job Sir
Thank you so much!
Hella clean

Look nice bro
Thank you!
Jeremy from Jersey just subscribed
Thank you!
Good job, also I’ve had my high beams not stay on before like at the end of this video, thought it was the fuse, but it was the wiring in the light switch
Can you post the link for the heating and shifter led light switch you did?
very nice
I ordered exactly what you used. I’ve done LED conversion externally & internally on a couple of my cars/trucks, but never on the instrument panel. However, the T5 (small bulbs) must be getting a minute amount of residual voltage because when I start the car, several of them are staying dimly lit on my ‘97 Mustang GT. 🤷🏻♂️😞
Navigationdisk No idea what your comment means.
I’m not sure. I haven’t had that issue. Maybe try cleaning the contact points on the panel?
So easy thanks bro
No problem! I'm glad I could help!
very helpful thanks
+Dark shadow no problem! I am glad I could help out.
Man thank u very much for u i can do this in 1 minute
I’m glad I could help
Thanks bro. Taught me a lot. Going to get started on mine tomorrow. Did you ever make a video to do the lights for air conditioning?
Thank you for watching and commenting! Yes, here is the link ua-cam.com/video/egReYNlOosA/v-deo.html
@@SwordInc THANK YOU!!
No problem!
question i have a 2003 ls 430 i took out the dash but for some reason the bulbs aren’t in the back like most models of cars i tried opening it front and back but still couldnt seem too find em
Damn. I'm subbing
Thank you so much!
You cautght another sub with this video! Good shit man👍
Thank you for subbing!
Nice video , definitely appreciate the help . The blue looks great . But dam that car sounds badass ? What type of exhaust or muffler do you have ?
Haven't had this car in a couple years now, sadly. I believe it was a magnaflow, but not sure what specific one
Them lights look sick bruh, I’ll have to se is I can change them on my camaro SS 2012
You might be able to, but I think the newer ones have soldiered leds
Bro I have Ford mustang I want remove the fog from head lamp can u pls tell me how open the headlights
Great job bro!! Question, do you have a video of how to change the color of the numbers? Mine are green and I would like to make it blue as well, thanks.
I don’t, but you can scrape off the colored filament and it will shine through the color of the LED. You can also use a transparent but opaque paint to diffuse the LED light. At this time, I’m not sure what kind of paint to use. I may look into doing that though
Just got a 02 mustang plan on doing this soon.
It is really worth it. Makes the gauges look so much better
Awesome....
Thank you! I am pleased to hear that!
Aye thus helps me bro im 15 just tryna learn and i am i think this is easier but im scared to do everything and then mess up something but i think everything will be good💯
Just take your time with it and it should be fine
I'm having trouble finding out which size bulbs to use for a 02 Toyota Celica, any ideas? Great video btw!
Call up a dealer and ask what the replacement bulb size is
That looks amazing and I would love to do my truck like that. How did you get the blue background with the white numbers
I’m not sure what you mean?
Does the cluster have a color filter for the indicator lights? I noticed the seatbelt light looks kind of purple, which might be from the blue LED you used going through a red film in the clusters.
I'm thinking of just getting white LEDs for them and keep whatever color the cluster has for them
White LEDs will work great if you want to keep the factory color. You could also scrape off the film, if you want to use a different color
I ordered some lights for my Bronco, but I'm trying to find a video showing how to scrape the green film off so it does not pollute the new color I am adding in.
Can anyone refer me to a video that shows that? I haven't found one yet.
Feel free to ask any questions. If you have seen my last Dash video, I try to help out to the best of my ability.
You know it would help if you would let us know what bulbs you replaced with the number of the bulb #
WHAT IS THE NUMBER ON THE SMALLER BULBS?
Do these not need resistors?
SwordInc hey buddy great video ... I have a quick question I have a 2002 Toyota Camry wry full boring lights .... how would I go about upgrading them?! Can you please make a video ? Would it be as simple as pulling out some blind in the back thanks!
SwordInc you look like the guy from the three stooges. I was giving you a compliment👍🏻
That's fuckin sweet bro love the blue, think I'm gonna do mine
Thank you! I’m glad to hear it! The LED swap is a great mod to do
Sorry I’m new and I just bought my first car 2007 Dodge Charger, do led lights affect the battery?
Should not have an issue
i want to do these colors for my 98 Civic LX but i’m confused by what sizes i need and how many bulbs of each i would need. do you happen to know?
I would recommend doing a google search on the bulb size. As for how many you need, pop the gauge out and see how many are in there. You may have multiple size bulbs as well
I have an 01 Mustang GT, I am aware that the bulb size is T5, but my question is can I just plug and play the bulbs without any problems? Because I see a lot of people talking about “you have to sand out the green film” and others that say “you don’t have to sand out anything”. Any advice?
It depends, do you like the color of the gauges to begin with? If yes, go with a white LED. If No, scrape the film off and get the color LED you want.
I’ve seen u reply so maybe u can help me lol I installed new lights into my 99 cobra but while I was at it I swapped the odometer face to the terminator face but I took the needles off and now the needles either get stuck in place or they don’t move. Any tips on how to fix? Thank you
Since I own a Ford I got a 2005 Ford Explorer wanting to go with red but are these the same bulbs u would use in my 05 like your mustang I don’t know what I need to get or if there diffrent
You might need only T5 bulbs for the 2005. Double check with the manufacturer to be sure, or just pop them out to see
Awesome, subbed. I have a 1997 Rio Red Cobra and I am doing this to my car this weekend. Do you find that its to bright at all?
Thank you for subbing. When there are no street lights it can be pretty bright but you can just turn the light knob and dim it. Works the same as regular lights. I just installed some Halo HID headlight and will be uploading the video some time this week.
Awesome Ill look out for it.
Hey man i’m going to be doing this to my mazda b2500 and i looked at the link to the t10 lights and on amazon it says they are white yet the ones in the vid are blue, did they stop making blue?
It’s possible that link was changed to only the white. Try looking for the other color. They should still make them
Vary helpful
Thank you for saying that!
I'm doing these t5 blue for my 18 wheeler and they work when I have my parking lights on once I put on my headlights they shut off already replaced the relay and the two fuses and still do the same any other suggestions would be helpfull!helpful!! First time ever I haven't figured electrical out in a vehicle lol
I have no idea about wiring for a tractor
Nice video..will this same size light work in a 95 mustang gt?
Yes, they should be the same size
Hi is there anyway to change the cluster needle lights? Ive changed mine but the red sticks arent lit or are low powered
You could probably find different colored needles. But the light is part of the main bulbs
That looks cool. Just about every video that I have watched where people have done this there always seems to be a hot spot or two in them. There seems to be zero hot spots in yours. Is the reason for that that you used better bulbs?
+212days probably. I did buy expensive LEDs
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much!
Hello I hope u Can please help :(
So I was gonna change the LED’s for my 95 GT’s gauge cluster and well it had aftermarket white faces the previous owner had installed. I had to remove the needles but now my needles are off… my speed, tach, fuel are off. My battery and fuel pressure are working perfectly. Any help or advice to fix the other three? :/ I’m told to fill the tank to full and put the needle there and then just use a gps to check for speed and tach well I pretty much know where mine idles around 800-900.
I would suggest doing just that. Other than that, I don’t think there’s much to do
Are you able to dim the led’s now I know you can with the factory light but I didn’t know if you could on the led’s
With these, yes. The T10 led bulbs are dimmable. The T5 cannot
The lights you used you were pretty bright, do you mind me asking Where you got them from?
Nkhuwa Chiti the direct links are in the video description.
I got a 1997 Toyota Avalon and the gauge lights are green and out dated looking any suggestions what color to go with
Either go with White, or Green LEDs and let that green shine more. If not you may have to scrape the green color off the gauges
How to know what type of lights i have? for example, T5, i don't know how to know what's my socket type of lights, i have a 1995 Dodge Grand Caravan.
Thanks for your video
It may be a T10, but I'm not sure. You could call up Dodge and ask them what is the proper bulb size for your gauge cluster
Dodge caravan holy shit save some pussy for the rest of us😒
Can you do a video on changing the stereo and cd changer on a 1999 v6 mustang. or any new edge. thank you!
I don't have a CD changer in my Cobra and the radio that was in it was all wired wrong. I have no idea who installed it, but there were wires everywhere and all cut up too. Wires spliced together that should not have been. A huge mess.
Darian Bogart if you're changing to an aftermarket radio you can just get a 99-04 aftermarket radio plug and play connection and from them splice and clamp your wires together it isnt hard i didn't bought no plug and play i just clamp wire to wire, most of it its color coded
You can search online the radio wiring diagram and from there just splice to your aftermarket radio
Darian Bogart,
The easy estate way to change the radio is to get a package of scotch locks so you don't need to cut any wires at the radio. For the speakers, most likely you will add an amp so use the speaker output wires from the new radio and run new wires (14 - 16 gauge) to your speakers. Remove the wire connector from the speakers that go to your old radio and leave them right where they are and connect your new speaker wires using spade connectors.
Job done and none of the original wires are cut or messed up so later if you decide to reconnect the stock speakers and radio you can do so very easily all you would need to do is remove the scotch locks from the power lines connecting to the original radio power and ground which you use to power the new radio .
P.S. DO NOT CUT the original radios shielded speaker wires. They are not needed and a lot easier to run new speaker wires from your new radio.
did you get a chance to write down the polarity of the lights? it would be great to post a polariy diagram so we don't have to keep testing each light.
I don’t think it works that way. You just have to test it and find out which way works
Great Video SwordInc. I want to try this with my 2011 Toyota Camry. Do you think it would be the same process?
Most likely it would be very similar. You just need to get the correct bulb size
SwordInc I'm going to see if I can find the correct size bulbs and swing for the fence 🤣
the dash bolts for the trim around the cluster and the gauges are actually torques bits
you can use star bit # 20 or 7 mm socket
I have a 04 mustang and the led for the main gauges was also T5 only my HVAC unit is T10s not sure if it's only cuz my car is like that or all 99-04 GTs have a T5 bulb but hope this helps
I have a 04 GT too. so you did not use the T10s?
Cristian Ramos nope for my gauge cluster I used T5s for the whole thing and I would recommend using blue as because of the green filter on the gauge face red does not show at night at all but blue is very visible. use T10 only for the HVAC unit
I believe the 99 and up switched over to the T5 bulbs for the entire gauge
Would this work for a saturn 03 l300 ,great video btw
I’m not sure. It depends on the bulb size of your dash lights. Most likely it will work, you just need the correct bulb size to fit.
Why would you use an SAE allen key when the screws are t20 torx
The ones in your description do they fit any car or is it only a specific type of car
It depends on the car, but most should use the same two sizes. Just depends if they are all the same size or both of the 2 sizes
If you wanna test all bulbs, hold the button that resets the miles while the car is completely off then while you hold it down, turn the key to the on position (not the start position) then wait until it says "test" on the odometer. Once that has happened, let go of the button and you will now be able to switch it to different modes, keep pressing the reset button until you get to the mode that says "bulb test." It should be the 2nd one, can't remember so don't go too fast and skip it by accident.
You're also able to get it to say the speed you're going or the RPM which is pretty cool.
I did not know that. Thank you!
SwordInc Np, there should actually be a video about it.
SwordInc ua-cam.com/video/ykDfWvc9p3s/v-deo.html This guy explains it well
What does the speedometer do? I did what you said and what will it do if I change something with it?
