Instrument Cluster LED's (Manual Truck)...

[jcbrown]

Cool

 

[snowracer69]

that's fabulous, but where do they go? I'm assuming since you specified manual truck that they're in the auto transmission selector window?

 

[Evan A. Beck]

Looks just like mine, James. I only have 4 LED's though.

 

[jcbrown]

... but where do they go? ... auto transmission selector window?

Correct.

... I only have 4 LED's...

I know what two you have are for. What are the other two for?

Assembly Hint...

Wire loom LED assembly to eliminate diffuse lighting from night time instrument lighting.



Oo.

 

[95REDRAM]

Great idea. Can you give a source and P/N for the LED's?

 

[Mundgyver]

Do you make this in a kit form. I would be very interested in this.

 

[nickleinonen]

Been there, done that. Got the CB display that looks awkward at night to prove it... :-laf

Super setup. Big question, how did you wire the little puppy up?

 

[jcbrown]

... how did you wire the little puppy up?

I used Delphi Packard Weather-Pack connector's. OVERKILL, but it will allow me to be able to remove the instrument cluster in the future. There may be more wiring to do?



Oo.

 

[Texas Diesel]

Looks first class! Good job!



Where did you buy the connectors?
