I bought a new Pioneer headunit recently and while it lights up green, it's more of an updated and stronger green as opposed to the soft factory green that is found in our Toyota's. Basically it's more bold (example shown below). Has anyone on here updated their cluster with green LED's to give it a more modern look and if so where did you get them and please post a pic showing what you use.
This is what it looks like: ![]() -Matt |

I think you have to try more type of diods to find out which one fits your requirements, there are lot of types with integraded resistance for use on 12V but with different type of light ..
Strange is that on this photo it seems to be light blue .. .. but in fact it´s white. :-) This is not too bright for me and therefore I´m wondering how to make it brighter, one way should be cleaning of gauge faces as GriffGirl mentioned (I´m looking forward pics as well I´ll now try to change clock and lighter lighting to get red & white combination (sorry for quality of photo).. -------------------- ´95 T20 GT |
