cluster

[Angel13]

Any body now where i can find a DIY for the gauge cluster to chage the lights to different color.

No, but it should be simple. They will be type 194 bulbs and easily swappable once you get the cluster out. I haven't removed it from my Corolla yet but in every other Toyota, the speedometer cable has been a hassle to get in and out.

yea its simple jus remove ur dash then the bolts, take ur cluster out, the secrete of the speedmeter cable is that u can actually push it from under the hood to give u more room to play wit then pull it back b gentle and good luck

Yea, the speedo has a small tab that's facing towards the passenger side. Locate it with your fingers, push it, and it'll pop off.... I have small hands :p

[Angel13]

so i have to take the dash of?

The center console trim that surrounds the cig lighter/ cup holder/ ac controls/ center vents, the black trim that surrounds the radio/ cluster, then you get access to the screws that holds the clusters.

Assuming you have a sedan, not sure if the 2 doors are the same way.

Yes the cluster has to come out. A 10 minute job though, if that. I find the coupe's clusters come out easier then the sedans and I've nver had to undo the speedo cable as it's fixed in place in the coupes. With the sedan's speedo I find it faster to take the radio out to be able to get your hand behind the cluster and undo the speedo and out it back on.

Anyway, as already said, once the cluster is out the bulbs are very easy to change out.

Where do i start thogh

[Createdtoburn]

Oh jeeze. You probably shouldn't be trying if you have no clue at all how to do it. Ask a friend with some experience.

[Angel13]

i could probably do it just havent really tried or checked but just thought there could of been a diy for this

I never removed a gauge cluster from a car before, and had no problem removing my All-Trac's cluster. Of course I had pulled apart the front dash several times since I bought the car to get at the stereo & front speakers... it was just a matter of removing the right screws to get the cluster out. (I have issues with my speedometer needle bouncing like crazy when the weather is cold, or when I go about 65mph. So I checked the cluster and did the test on the speedo sensor as the FSM suggested.)

I suggest what someone else has already said, to make this easier, it might be better to detach the cable in the engine bay and feed some of it through the firewall so that the cluster is easier to pull back once it's been detached.
