these ones are for your cluster http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Product-50X-...QQcmdZViewItem

i just ordered some other ones to replace the ones in my ac controls, window switches, pretty much all my lights in my truck will be blue led's in the next month or so, it looks soo sick, so much better then the stupid orange

thanks yama! the gauge clusters are all i really care about. kinda like the center console all orange but not my gauge cluster, weird i know. how long would it take for you to switch all the LEDs out while i pound beer watching you?

yamaguy88 · 04-10-2008, 02:06 AM

it took me a good 2-2 1/2 hours but thats cuz i would solder one led and go check it then do it again, then i starting doing little sh!t here and there and started to take apart other stuff, so i would say max would be like 2 hours

weekends best for you? payment in beer, wine, hard liquor, cash or a combination? is it possible to drop the cluster off and drive off without the cluster on?

yamaguy88 · 04-10-2008, 03:42 AM

i normally charge $50 per hour for labor but since ur local and a member of TT and you have a sick truck

ill do it for a flat rate of 40 bucks no matter how long it takes me. i wouldnt drive around w/ out a cluster. with that said, u can eitheir come to my house or i can come to you, as long as i have a nice clean well lit work surface with a wall outlet for my soldering iron. i do alot of mobile installs soo it no sweat off my a$$. just let me know when u get the led's, and i can do it eitheir during the week or weekend. but once its done it gonna look sick. you stilling going this sun to barstow or u bailling?

yamaguy88 · 04-10-2008, 10:17 AM

yamaguy88 · 04-10-2008, 08:35 PM

yup, there's another dude on the east coast i think the d.c. area that did his too and he's an electrician so stuff like this is easy as pie. i'm all thumbs when it comes to electrical stuff so i don't bother or i'm sure i'll short something out, then not have a clue what the hell i did. yama, whatever the rate is, its worth it to me. i've been wanting the gauges blue the first day i got the truck. am i going this sunday? depends on a few things.

yamaguy88 · 04-10-2008, 09:05 PM

Yea i think i did find the bulb i ordered it last night ill see if it fits tho when it comes in, i ordered a #74 Wedge Blue LED, i ordered the other solder on led for the others switches ill see how those work out when i get them in the mail. yea i do all sorts of 12V installs, i use to build cop cars, in santee. radios, computers light bars strobes everything that makes a cop car i built it in the car. im gonna start my own mobile wiring company tho, just have to balance it out with my reg work load, and im getting busy as hell right now and sucks, but i can hang, oh and trying to keep up on racing/riding motocross too lol too many hobbies and interests i have, i need to clone me so i can do twice as much.
