The only hard part is manuvering your hands behind the gauge cluster to put the three harnesses back into the gauge cluster. Once you get the hang of it, you can change your bulbs in five minutes.

Its really easy,takes me about 20 minutes and thats because I am never sure about takeing the harnesses out so I change the bulbs without disconnecting anything and Its hard working behind the gauges with everything still there.

Im not even sure if thats physically possible, ulness you pull the wiring out really far from the dash...its not that hard putting the plugs back in, you can tell which one is which and where it goes fairly easily. Just takes a little patience.  Actually for me the hardest part was getting that clip off the gauge cluser dimmer unit....

I've actually done it that way too, without unplugging anything, but I thought it was harder than pulling the cluster out. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Someone please tell me what type of bulbs I need for the gauge cluster lights. I would also like red lights in mine. I'm doing a full interior red light conversion. Is it possible to do it with anything besides the dome and gauge? I also need to know what size bulb to get for the dome light. Will a 1157 work? Someone please help me.
 Thanks.AIM wiilllam |
