Thank you for adding the info!

thank you sm

@@AutoFixYT question sir. Any suggestions for the dead zone around 60-85ish? It bothers me in mine lol

Sounds like a bulb has gone out. Needs to be replaced.

@@GlennC789 If they're led bulbs, they could be put in backwards, or it's more likely that the pins aren't quite touching and need to be bent a little more.

Thanks!

That's awesome! I'm glad the video was helpful!

Glad it helped!

Thank you!

Nice, that's exactly my setup. All LEDs except for turn signals. For brake light bulbs I suggest LEDs from SuperBrightLEDs.com. They're expensive but after years of buying many different LED bulbs for brake lights, I have come to the conclusion that those are the best.

Glad it helped!

Yup, it's the same on the Camrys, lots of stuff has to come off

Thank you!

It's pretty easy. Just have to have patience to remove all those pieces that are stuffed behind the steering wheel haha

@@AutoFixYT do u hv an idea as to why Gas gauge as we all as the heat gauge (if it is called so) might give false readings? where cn I send u a pic of what I am talking about

@@sabatamoabi4051 You can message me on Instagram. My username is autofix.cris

Thanks!

Thanks! Yes I will be filming that this week and hopefully posting it by late this week or early next week. Stay tuned! :)

Thank you!

Oh wow!!! Didn't expect an answer so fast 👍👍👍👍👍 I did verify the LED's at link provided and they're not available. My cluster is different 1993 Toyota Corolla 1.8l 7A-FE, no RPM GAUGE (tachometer)and I'm wondering if you could make a vid for that swap. 👍👍🇵🇷👍👍

Unfortunately I can't make a video for the swap because I don't have a car that doesn't have the tach. It would have different wiring so I can't swap a non tach cluster in mine either just for the video. The bulbs should still be 194 bulbs. If the link says they're not available, here are some other ones you can buy: www.amazon.com/dp/B07G312DR2

Thank you!! I don't really budget a monthly amount for repairs. I just have some money set aside that I use whenever I need to repair something.

Yeah they're not all this easy unfortunately... but at least you figured it out!

Yes should all be the same!

@@AutoFixYT Thanks a lot

You are welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful!

Yup, I'm at 340k right now. And you're right, Corolla NEVER dies haha

yeah, mine has 226000 and runs like a dream. Just gotta do this light fix so this video is perfect!

@@TehAuroraWolf Nice! Keep it going!

We have a 90 Corolla on its 3rd odometer, og engine. We assume after talking to one of the old owners that its about 375,000-400,000 miles. They seem to last forever 😂

I'm happy the video helped!

@@AutoFixYT I appreciate it haha

You're welcome!

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

Bought one few days ago with 255k miles but extremely well taken care of inside and out

Nice!

The ones I used have two chips per bulb.

Sure, I'll try and get a video out on that this week or maybe next week at the latest!

Auto Fix thanks so much ☺️

Thanks! I assume you meant is they are rare... I don't know! I think they are definitely rare on base models or automatics. This car being a manual transmission it's helpful to have the RPM gauge. It's also a DX not a base model. But I've seen many Corollas that don't have it. It's a good question though! I can't give you a good answer though, just a guess.

@@AutoFixYT can you swap to a rpm gauge cluster?

@@braydenbiondich6815 I've been asked this everal times and I never know the answer 100%. You can try, and hopefully the connectors match up and the wires are all there. But I don't know, I've never had to do it.

Yes I can still dim them!

I came to ask this very question!

I do, only a 13 gallon tank lol doesn't take that much to fill

As far as I know, yes. It should be a 194 bulb.

No, those will not fit. They only take 194 bulbs

I'm hapoy that the video helped! Indeed this isn't that bad of a job. As for the claibration, I honestly have no idea. My speedometer has always shown 5mph over at any speed. I never bothered to fix it lol

do you have 185/65r14 tires or are you using a larger tire like a 185/65/15? Larger tires cause your speedo to read slow but as far as calibrating it I also don't know. Between those two sizes it would be 2.6 mph difference reading in the speedo at 60mph.

I use the stock tires for winter tires and I have 205/50R16 for summer tires. There is a difference in speed but my speedo is 5mph off with stock tires so it doesn't really matter to me anyway. If anything it kinda fixes it haha

Thanks! They are 194 bulbs.

@@AutoFixYT All of those are 194? After opening the meter cluster I found those bulbs in 3 size variations. How to identify these variations when placing order online?

The ones that provide the backlight when you turn on your headlights are the biggest ones, they have brown connectors/sockets, and they are 194 bulbs.

@@AutoFixYT Thanks

The needle lights up through the light that lights up the whole cluster, that's the only way to do it

I don’t and I do plan on making one. The cluster on those GS models is lit up by a more rare type of lighting in the automotive world, CCFL lights. They’re not individual bulbs, they are tubes filled with gases that in the end emit light. This is why the backlight is so even across the gauges. They’re not individual bulbs. And because of this it is very difficult to replace them with LEDs. Not just the procedure itself, but then you have to customize the whole inside of the gauges so the light from the LEDs can be evenly dispersed across. Otherwise you end up with very blotchy lighting and dark areas. Not something I’d want to do. If I ever have to replace the lights, I’m sticking with the original type of lighting that is in there.

I can't really tell you what exactly is wrong, but check all the wiring connections to the gauge cluster. Make sure the circuit board isn't broken or burnt. It could be that the motors that move the gauges aren't getting a signal. I don't know how to help you more than that. I may be worth it to just get another cluster from the junkyard that works and use that. You can roll the odometer to match your mileage.

LEDs don't affect anything. You can swap any bulb you want for LEDs and nothing bad will happen, except for the turn signals. You will get hyperflash. Any other bulb will be treated the same as a halogen by the vehicle. I have swapped every single bulb in my car to LED besides the cigarette lighter plug and the turn signals, as well as the dummy lights in the gauge cluster. Everything else is LED. They make the car look a whole lot better in my opinion.

You just have to pull harder. In the past on other Toyotas I have had to use pliers and gently tug on the bulb while holding the socket with other pliers.

@@AutoFixYT thanks for the hasty reply, i tried that and the bulb shattered hah (i'm alright no cuts). is it the case of where the bulb is soldered in? it feels like it would've already came out with some wiggling if it wasn't

@@MrDdog678 Maybe they're soldered in? I've pulled those out of several Toyotas and I've never had one not come out

@@AutoFixYT upon further look, no clue what held them in so tightly.. however i opted to put on some gloves and remove the old bulbs by chipping away at them.. that worked out pretty well and the new LED bulbs you recommended here in the video fit and work great! thanks for the help. P.S. I've opted for full green interior lights and it looks great.

That's awesome!!

Awesome! I'm not entirely sure how to remove the antenna because I've never had to do it. I know there are two screws on the outside that you have to take off, but then you might have to take the plastic trim piece off the A pillar to unplug the antenna before removal. Not sure.

@@AutoFixYT that is the easy part , i wanna know the wiring steps. Anyway i appreciate ur help 👍🏻

Awesome! Nope, regular is just fine. These engines don't take premium.

No, those are not for the backlight

Yes there is a fuse. I don't know which one it is though, you'll have to look for it. Might be in the driver's side kick panel fuse box.

You can de-pin it or cut it. If you're not sure how to de-pin it just look up a video, it'll be easier than trying to explain in writing.

Yeah many people have commented that. I didn't know it was that rare lol. Mine is a DX trim but also a manual so I think the combination of those two make it so it has a tachometer

Start by checking the fuses and see if any of them are bad. There is a fuse box in the engine bay, and one underneath the driver's side kick panel. If any are bad, replace them with the correct amperage fuse. If that's not the case, check for power at all the wires that lead to your headunit and gauge cluster. If they have no power then I would keep following those wires and see where they lead. Maybe something is broken, disconnected, or not making proper contact. Definitely start with the fuses though. All of them one by one.

Auto Fix, bless

Good to know!

It's different. Both front and rear turn signals bulbs take an 1156 bulb

On the cluster?

Oh I'm sorry hahaha I didn't know you were referring to the cluster ones... my bad! I have no idea what size bulbs those are, they are the type that come with a socket and you twist them onto the board.

Yes i can. If you use good quality bulbs you should also be able to dim them.

@@AutoFixYT Awesome! Thank you!

I will look into it. I don't think I ever changed mine.

@@AutoFixYT Thank you and stay safe !

No really for these old cars

Not really sure since mine doesn't have that, my 4 194 bulbs lit up the whole gauge cluster.

@@AutoFixYT ok so that mini was an t5 bulb replaced everything good to go, BUT the needles dont glow they dont catch the light... please share your instagram so i send you pictures

Nowhere, it was a factory option on sedans and came standard on wagons.

Maybe your coolant temp sensor is bad

I used 194 bulbs, bough them from Amazon

@@AutoFixYT Thank you very much for your enthusiastic reply. I would like to ask you how much does a 194 bulb cost? Thank you!

@@eddiec4140 It depends which ones you buy. There are cheap ones and there ate expensive ones. I suggest you go somewhere in the middle, the cheap ones don't last. And the expensive ones are... too expensive haha

@@AutoFixYT I often like this type of selection, because there is no brand name and product number, so I can only check it by price. Thank you! (PS I live in a small country in Asia.)

Bulbs are 194 type bulbs

No

It must be something related to how the light gets dispersed inside the cluster. If you feel like taking it all apart go ahead and see if anything is broken internally. Other than that I have no idea why you have no light in those areas even with halogen bulbs.

@@AutoFixYT If friend is the strange thing, as if there was something that prevents the light from reaching that area, I will try to disarm to see what happens, thanks

194 bulbs, I said it in the video

@@AutoFixYT ohh okay, sorry, last question, do h know what size is the bulb in the license plate in the back? Thanks

@@joshualouismendoza2666 That is also a 194 bulb. There should be two of them.

Really good actually, still going strong!

You can use the same bulbs but the process isn't the same. Similar, but not the same. Instead of the small bezel around the cluster you have to remove the whole face of the dashboard. So everything from the driver's vent all the way to the radio and heater controls is all one giant piece of plastic. Once that's off the cluster comes off the same way, 4 screws, 1 in each corner. Then you can replace your bulbs with 194 bulbs for the backlight. I did it on my 96 Camry Wagon but didn't film it. It was annoying to do haha

Yes you can! It should be plug and play in you just get the cluster you want. There is also a way to take the cluster apart and make the mileage on the new cluster match the old one.

Thanks a lot!

I tried it but the clusters/rev gauge didn’t work don’t know y maybe faulty

Hmm... maybe I was wrong and you need to wire up the tach?

@@AutoFixYT if you have a 1.6 95% of the time it won’t work. If you have a 1.8 you should be a okay due to that’s the only model that came with the rpm as a option

Where do you get what?

It might, give it a try!

Yes they do!

@@AutoFixYT wow! I didn't think they would! Awesome

T10 is the same as a 194. Use either and they'll fit.

@@AutoFixYT ahhhhh ok. Still the problem is there. The needles are very badly lit. I thought it could be the length of the bulbs since the LEDs are longer than the og bulbs, but I found some shorter ones and the needles still look like crap so... Idk what to do in this case. Might just go back to the normal bulbs

@@AutoFixYT the badly lit needles are only the RPM and speedometer needles. Fuel tank and temp look fine

Very strange... Mine look good and actually are better with LEDs

I like ChrisFix

@@AutoFixYT hahaha, you sound just like him tho frfr

No. Most of the time those are ok. All those small ones are just for the various indicators on the gauge cluster, such as high beams, turn signals, seat belt, air bag, check engine light, oil pressure, etc. Those are not worth changing to LEDs because they usually not even on.

@@AutoFixYT Thanks man, really appreciate the answer, awesome content you are making

Yes they are! They work awesome.

194 bulbs

i believe they are not

Yes these LED bulbs can still work with the dimmer

But you can use the dial on the left side of the steering wheel to turn them down at night

Amazon, ebay, or other websites, even some stores.. A lot of places sell these. I suggest Amazon though.

Yeah true but who ever dims them anyway lol. I'd rather replace LEDs more often than have incandescent ones

There is no speedometer cable. It's electronically controlled.

@@AutoFixYT k

Force and no fear lol that's about it. Wiggle and twist too, that might help.

@@AutoFixYT force it is then haha thank you

@@gavinauger4886 haha you got this! I don't know why Toyota secured them so well from the factory.

Mine are the same, they don't come out. The bulbs are connected by tiny wires on the side.

95 Camry

194 Bulb

I don't know either :) I don't have one of those so you'll have to find a video that shows it, or figure it out on your own. Toyotas are all very similar in design so there should be a plastic bezel around the gauge cluster, and then some screws or bolts for the cluster itself and that's it.

Yup, still works!

Maybe there's an issue in the circuit. Gonna have to test that out somehow

@@AutoFixYT thanks

Yup they're dimmable!

Use pliers but be careful. They can get stuck if they are original bulbs.

Bulb number is 194, I say it in the video

Lol

Yes it is haha you have a lot more to take apart, I did it on my 96 Camry

@@AutoFixYT missed it by one year!!! Boooo!!😉

Well this video is for a Corolla not a Camry. I did my Camry a long time ago and didn't film it.

Yeah a lot of them didn't

Loving my 1991 civic ❤

Yes it will work. But if you're installing a 168 incandescent bulb be aware that it may overheat in there since the 168 is higher wattage than 194. When it comes to LEDs though, heat is not an issue. And even the 168 bulbs will be marketed as 194 because they're the same size and base and 194 is the more popular bulb. Hope this helps!

@@AutoFixYT well mine wouldn't lit up and the plastic to put the led on is kinda lose. Idk what i did wrong

Maybe the LED is not made properly? Or maybe your socket has melted and expanded over time. One of the two must be the issue

@@AutoFixYT its an oriely brand sylvania led mini brand new, um the sockets seems to be only working when the wires of the bulb was intact together.

Ok so it's probably not the bulb... why don't you message me on IG with some pictures so I can see what's going on. @autofix.cris

Check for a bad connection. That means the gauge isn't getting power anymore. Maybe it just so happened to break right then but most likely it's not getting power. So take it all back out and get the cluster disassembled, and with the ignition in the "On" position, take your multimeter and check for power right where it connects to the gauge. If you do have power but no movement, that means the motor that moves the gauge is bad. If you have no power, then go down the line until you find where the signal is interrupted.

Yeah you are correct! Thank you so much! 😊
