Thank you for that information, was thinking about doing blue

I’m trying to do it blue , I was thinking it would give me a terqouis color

@@albertgamez8132 I tried blue and got a bright lime green..switched to purple and liked it alot more. Like I said just don't swap the mileage bulb because their is no filter on it and it will be too bright.

@@TonicofSonic what color did purple give you ?

@@albertgamez8132 A brownish color. Very easy on the eyes.

That’s the dumbest shit I’ve heard this week

I did use white. Ford is stupid with there cluster in putting a green film in between, and too lazy to pull that all apart

It's the same reason night vision goggles and scopes are green filtered for decades. Your eyes can register green better then other colors so you actually glance at the instruments for a shorter period of time,therefore your eyes go back to the road faster. Plus green reduces the time it takes for your eyes adjust from bright to dark and dark to bright.

How dumb is this comment.... notice the red was also brighter from the same bulb.

That’s kinda what I want that or white light with blue needles. Did you ever try it out? If so could you leave link for bulbs

I can't post the picture here but I do like how it turned out. Changing the needles would require getting clear/white needles which would have to come from a wrecked Lincoln Mark LT due to the combination of lengths required, watching for but haven't found a suitable and economical candidate to get them from yet. I got my LED's from a seller on Amazon, WLJH. There are others but I've had the best experience with the ones they have.

I forgot to mention it would require a additional step, the needles are red but also there is red coloring in the cluster overlay, it may require cutting-removing that red area to make the change. The factory lighting is incandescent white turned red by the red.

Flip the bulbs 180

Yes, as Jd Dm said, LED bulbs are polarity sensitive, mean they need to be in a specific orientation for them to light up. I apologize for the late reply as I'm very busy with work and life, and KZfaq is more just a side project for some fun.

Or yours was just shit, never had an issue pulling from the "windshield" side, just a plastic clip, and sometimes they get brittle with age.

@@AaronsAutomotive Allow me to elaborate. The top clips pull out straight towards the driver, so of you pull up on the back, shit or not, they will snap off. This would have been obvious if you hasn't skimmed past the angle of pull and clips as well as the entire removal of that whole piece. I only lost one, no big deal a little double sided tape should fix any rattle. What I dont understand is why KZfaq videos always skip right past steps like you did in this video. All the hard work for such an awesome videos only to leave out removing the largest piece. Its so common it should be a meme at this point.

My apologies, often time guys like me, knowable about vehicles and they way they are put together and forget to show the small things like how they are clipped in. Also, I apologize for the attitude. Been a long stressful day dealing with a snow storm 😫 still no excuse. I do appreciate all the comments, and will work harder on showing the small details like that in future videos.

@@AaronsAutomotive hey were all men here, I don't see any attitude or need to apologise. Your out here putting in the work, I just threw that tip out because I personally check comment sections for tips like mine, because no video can be perfect and were all in this together. 1st round is on me if we ever cross paths 🍻 It's an old truck, you aren't even wrong about the crappy plastic part 👍

@@AaronsAutomotive you can have that meme idea BTW Do a funny meme video, like an engine swap or a barn build. Be all specific about how to pop the hood, chris fix it style, than after the hood prop step, and disconnecting the battery, transition to doing burnouts in the finished car or something 😂

Just cheap generic Amazon leds.

Amazon had them actually they are $11 for 6 of them

They are a T5 led, there is a total of 10 in the cluster www.amazon.ca/dp/B0798R76CR/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_YDBWSVTJMTAP40CR1KRD?psc=1

Where you at? I'd love to bring you my truck. Lol, it's a work truck for me, once a month I drag out all the trash, give it a quick vacuum, and a fast/dirty baby wipe wipe down on the coffee stains, door panels and steering wheel, only so much I can care about when I've spent 12 hours in a diesels engine bay and just want to go home. That said, once a year I do take it to an auto detailer for a deep clean. He pulls the seat to clean, scrubs and shampoos the carpet, steam cleans everything he can.

The bulb size and style is called a T5, and i had ordered mine thru Amazon www.amazon.ca/dp/B0798R76CR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Sa8-EbGY4X94M
