Default RE: Gauge Dash Lights?

I changed my smaller gauge lights on my 06 SG to green. I went to Wally-Mart & got " dome " lights, they where approx 2-3 bucks a package of 2 . I also got red just to see which ones I liked. I went with the green ones because they were better on my eyes. Wasn't hard to do, I used long a$$ needle nose pliers and gently removed em and put the new ones in. 15 minutes work.

you do not have to cut the gauge in half to get it apart, I just did it in about 5 minutes. Noe I need to fins out where I can buy LED lights to change to red. Look for my other post. I show pictures.

Saw your post on the tach. You are brave for sure. I don't know where you can get the LED's. I do know that it will be difficult to remove and replace them. They are surface mounted so not only will you have to remove the solder you will also have to "break away" the LED's from the circuit board since a small amount of adhesive is used to hold them in place during the manufacturing process.

GOOD LUCK!

Default I found a place to change dash light color...

http://omaha.craigslist.org/mcy/3604436540.html

125.00 for six guages in any color. They will also do the dials in one color and the needle in a different color. Fast turn around. Oh, and they can change the color of the stereo display!!

Hope this helps!

why in the world would you send off your gauges to someone else to change a bulb that you can change yourself?

speedo and tach, yes, those are sealed and require 'professional' intervention, but, the others are a simple diy.
