DIY LED gauge conversion for less than $20! Part 1
Take your pick of any of these:

then simply pull the dash apart and pull the old filament ones out (making sure that they are actually the main ones by flipping your lights on) the ones i put in had fairly flimsy connection leads so i had to kind of persuade a few of them to work properly. Most likely you will need some pliers of some kind to pull the old bulbs out, i couldn't get them out by hand.
The light behind the "dodge" label has a useless shroud over it that blocks it from being easily removed. i ended up just breaking it off because there is no reason for it to be there

i dont see why they wont. the only issue i forsee is that the leads look pretty weak like the ones on mine. i overcame the issues that some of them had not wanting to work by cutting some small paperclips and putting them in next to the original leads and then kinda crimping them in place.
Sorry to bring back an old thread but I attempted this diy with little success. From my experience you can not remove the tint from the gauge faces. Seems the gauge face is printed on tinted plastic, at lease from what I can tell. I wanted my gauges to light up white but im stuck with blue or green. The faces are tinted blue and the backlight bulbs are regular 194s...so im guessing with the natural light from the bulbs shining through blue tint is what makes the cluster light up green. This is coming from working with a 93 cluster, im not sure if the clusters differ from year to year.
Anyone have any input on this?
