I love my '07 Taco but I treasure my eyes alot more, so, following instruction from the sticky from CT on how to remove the gauge:
http://customtacos.com/tech/index.php?article=225

I began my obsession to have a better viewing when I'm driving:

You see how hard it is to read characters in f'in amber?

There were 10 LED's total that I replaced. (should be 11 really).

Now I can Ride In Peace :smokin:

addition 3/1/07: somebody's come up with blue gauges here

I'M READY! PM ME


If you're gonna mail it in, pack it right and track it, cause I'm gonna use the same packaging to ship it back.

OMG someone actually did it! You are now my second favorite person after PB can you do mine? i'll do your headlights =)

Damn, I'd pay for that to be done. I hate the amber color of the gagues. That's one of the gripes I have with this truck but was willing to live with it. I always wondered about the color of the gagues and if they could be changed somehow. Now I have my answer and will definatly keep track of this one.

:yikes: Out fuck'ng standing. One of the best mods I've seen so far. I always knew it can be done, but I don't have the time & patience to do it. Keep up the good work!!! :thumbsup: I'd love to see it in person.

[BillBrasky]

what a write-up!

Props to you, my man. That may be the best mod I've seen.

 

[viet2100]

Holy crap! Someone estimated about 20 LEDs to change, so there's really only 10 =). So did you solder them or what? I want blue =) And you couldn't change the needles' color?

 

[DCab4X407]

i want to see blue before it gets done to mine, i was thinking blue too.....

 

[rexrunner]

I do, too. Easier on the eyes at night. But, nonetheless, a great mod.

[TucsonTaco]

[EnolaGaia]

Congratulations, Jotaro! ...

We've known how it would have to be done for a long time, and now finally someone's dug into it and got it done.

 

[Coastgardsman]

Thats Awsome Dude... Faq wish i had the patience to do that.

 

[05 r1racer]

Wow, this is a tempting mod for me to do. Do you happen to have any spec on the different color led that we could use?

Nice write up btw! :clap:

 

[SR5-2006]

OK, I'm in.
But where did you get the LEDs? What size/type LEDS?

Nice job on the Mod man! The reason orange was chosen in the first place though was to preserve night vision. White light is pretty good at taking that away. Nice Mod though.
