Don't really know why I want to do this, but I think I would like Ultra Violet LED's in my dash lights. Either to replace the blue ones, which I like. or behind the instrument cluster to replace the red ones at night. I just like the purple hue it give off.
I searched for this, but couldn't find where anyone has changed them.
I know where to get the LED's (http://www.autolumination.com/) but does anyone know how to properly take apart the instrument cluster and change the bulbs?

Has anyone done this?

 

When I was ordering the stealth bulbs for my clear sidemarkers last week, I ordered two 194 UV Leds. I've got the shop manual at home. If no one else has posted anything by then, I'll try to remember to see if it mentions any of the bulbs you suggested. Assuming they are the right size, I could see how it looks (assuming I don't have to rip my car apart too much to do it).

 

They say they have instrument panel LED's...

just not sure if that's what is really behind there.

 

Just so you know, that's ULTRA and VIOLET, as in "extremely violet" (in color). Ultraviolet light is beyond the visible spectrum of light, and you wouldn't be able to see it. :D

 

Their specs list the peak output at 425 nanometers (definitely visible), so it would more appropriately be called a Violet LED, though perhaps it does emit some amount ultraviolet as well.

 

I'd like to put some white or red lights in there, instead of the blue. Some past experience or insight on how to replace these blue lights would be cool.

I think it would be more troube than it's worth IMO

 

i think thats one of the coolest features we have
you can try it too see what it looks like but i rather
leave it.

 

It's a black light...

 

Opinions aside, can the LED's be changed by us end users and if so, HOW????

 

just to let u guys know... i swapped out all of my interior 194's w/ some ultra white LED's & they actually emit a blue light that matches great w/ the blue back-lighting on the gauge cluster. just a thought before u go tearing that up...
