2nd Generation Blue LED Intsrument Cluster! and others!

so i was doing the walk of hope through my local JAYCAR Dealer (Electronics store) and i found a new item that made me sag at the knees! T10 and T5 LEDs! now this is not surprising, they've been around for a while, and you could always make them up, but not for me, and not this cheap. $1.95 each! the 10 millimetre LEDs are usually 240, plus 1 way diodes @ 50c, and the right resistor up to $1.50, and then there is the casing. i now run white parkers, and a blue instrument cluster. all the T5's will get changed soon too! YEAH! cheap and looks damn pretty at night too! especially with my white surround! still want to do the indicator conversion, but with LEDs it'll be done awesome! will post photo's of the awesomeness soon with a write up.

heyy i live in AUS as well... and ive beeen wondering..cause no one wants to help from the ebay guys..

have u ever seen that white cluster with the blue LED's display on ebay.. for the 1990 sv21 toyota camry (your car)

u reckon they have those in AUS (right side drive).. cause at the end of the day i just wanna get the gauges of the cluster to be white and illluminate them blue at night..

some guy on this very forum reckoned to get the original cluster and get it copied .. but dont where/if thats possible ???

if you could help in anyway that'd be much appreciated

Not sure if I'm totally missing the whole AUS thing, but try looking into getting Reverse Glow gauges, they're white, and at night they glow blue.. look at the thread up on the thread list called "Gen2 V6 dash into a Gen2 4cyl"

here's a pic
