I used the purple ones and it gives it a nice low key grey/brown color, with a hint of purple around the rim of the spedo and rpm. Went purple on the mileage too but white would work, use the stock bulb if you go this route or the mileage will be way too bright without the green film like the rest has. I tried blue and it only made it a more lime green, way too bright. Blue in the center console shifter makes it look like tropical water though.

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.

Going through the process of removing the colouring on my 2004 Lariat cluster that I swapped into my truck, current plan is to leave mine white with red needles using LED's from the same source.
@Divinesavage5023 жыл бұрын
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
@toddsonic3 жыл бұрын
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.
@toddsonic3 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
@TonicofSonic3 жыл бұрын
@@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.

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.
