My new style gauge cluster with all new LED lights and some custom stuff also!

[SupraClaou]

Remember guys to ask the ebay seller that you want the WHITE colored LEDS that tend to give the light cool blue color.
There are some WHITE LEDs that tend to give a slightly yellow color on our gauges....

Doing this upgrade will make you feel great... You are going to want to drive your Supra only during the night time! LOL
Not to mention that (also due to the fact that people don't know the car..99%),that people around think it is a new model
like year >2001.

Sweet!

Nice job man!

You and your self-leveling headlights... You Euro guys got some cool stuff for our cars. :love:

Is the brightness level distracting when driving at night? I know some areas you only really need headlights so that OTHER drivers see you, not so you can see the road... while other places, such as where I live in, do NOT believe in street lighting. Hence, when driving away from the city/town, I keep my dash lights as dim as they will go. Easier to see wildlife that way.

Euro headlamps use H4 bulbs also iirc.

Edit:

Yup

This switch will be needed only if the passenger number or rear load will increase,so you can have the lights on the road.

Ever travel to Thessaloniki/Chalkidiki?? That's where I always am.

Cool, I'm gonna get a set of these for mine. The stock look is getting old already and I've only had the car for a year.

The electronic leveling headlights are pretty useless, our mazda has them. I never even had to lower them when I had a full load in the car, they were still low enough not to bother oncoming cars. I think the law requires them some places though.

So did you have to run wires for the LEDs or did you just sodder the the bulb in or what? How does the bulb stay in place? Really want to do this but I would like to know the details. PM me if u wish

 

[dmp316]

wicked man. Very nice work

 

[tErbo b00st]

It is not hard to do... You need five LEDSs of 5W bulbs style. Stock cluster takes 4... 5W style bulbs and 1... 1.2W style bulb
which is behind the oem oil pressure gauge. You just to drill a bigger hole for to replace the small 1.2W style with the bigger 5W bulb.

The link for the W5W T10 style bulb with the 5 SMDs :

So this is plug and play? Now soldering or rewiring required?

What type of LEDs did you use for the switches and the HVAC unit?

 

[7m_no_sht]

How did you get the Green backing off of the buttons? like where the light shines through and displays each button?

From what I remember u gotta pop em open, theres a little green sheet in front of the bulb you can remove.

i am in the process on making another prototype gauge cluster like i have, or maybe better , for sale here on the forum.

I don't know the exact price yet. But for sure it will be more than $400+ usd. It will be plug and play though!

The price can go down - $100 usd if the interested person ships me his oem gauge cluster.

I have to get an extra good condition gauge cluster and all the other electrical parts.

It will take some time to finish it, maybe a month or so.

Don't know if i could do a group buy yet, but it will be 1 prototype for sale.

Anyway i will update about this project soon. I will contact a mod also..

Thanks
