I'm going to look into a list of LEDs I need for my dash since I love how that looks. I was wondering though if anyone has any suggestions for something I can do to give me more lighting in my Jeep. I don't have floor lights or anything, but I wouldn't mind having a low LED light or something to make it not so dark at night in the Jeep.


Any ideas?

So in order to do my gauges, shifters, etc I need 12 LEDs. Will these work?

And which would be nicer, cool or warm white? I'm thinking cool.

I just put blue led strip lights into the footwells and they look beautiful with blue led domes and the blue bulbs for the gauges and shifters http://instagram.com/p/XD-2namf8b/

Where'd you buy the strip from? I like the idea of the blue strip in the footwell.

These showed up today.



Pretty good deal on them. Retailed for $40 for a set of 10, bought for $4 heh. I bought a little extra in case some are DOA or go bad fast.

How's the process for replacing these? Is it easy to remove the dash panel, gauges? Is it hard to remove the bulb, does it require force, etc?



Cheers

Couple obvious screws and the bezel pops right off. 4 screws around the gauges, whole thing pops out as one piece. Simple turn on the little blue pieces on the back and they pop right now. Test each bulb as you go since LEDs have to go in the right way. Takes all of about 10 minutes.

The LEDs or is this something on the dash?

They're little blue circles you turn and they pull out with the bulb. They're the sockets for the bulbs.

Just go do it and you'll see. It's very straightforward.
