Do the 04 cruise control pods disassemble the same as earlier models? I got my LEDs to do the install today! Now just the cluster and OHC left to make blue.

 

FYI... you cant change the leds on 04+ Cruise Control. I painstakingly took the airbag out to find out that there is two tiny leds soldered onto a circuit board. GAY!

 

Cameron, does for the speedo/guage, does LED replacement work? What type of LEDs did you use?

 

couldnt you just solder new ones on?

 

They do work but I haven't done them. They are #74 bulbs. I'm going to take all the green off and solder in 20 360 degree bulbs like JP did. The reason I didn't solder them in is b/c tiny is an understatement. They are little square leds. I'm not even sure what kind of bulb I could fit onto it.

 

the cruise control ones are square?

u could try to paint it, that sucks cuz i wanted to go red in a few months

 

Yup.. Little square ones that are made into a circuit board. I'm sure there is a way to do it.

 

im gunna do a bit of searching now lol. good luck with the cluster, lemme know how hard it is, did you buy a spare cluster?

 

No not yet. I'll probably wait until the spring semester is over before I start. I tend to rush and mess up things, so I'm not going to start until I have alot of time on my hands. Let me know if you figure out how to do it.

 

haha im gunna order an all black cluster after basic so itll be next fall lol

 

oh nice. I might have to do that too. I've always wanted white/red gauges, so this might be my chance, finally

thanks for the quick replies

 

yea if you wanna wait i have white face guages lol

 

from your description, they sound like surface mount LEDs. Can you post up a picture of the circuit board, so we can be sure?

if they are surface mount LEDs, they certainly can be replaced or switched out to a different color, etc... it's just not as straightforward as the already established LED mod.. and soldering/unsoldering SMT (surface mount technology) LEDs is no walk in the park for folks that have not done a lot of that sort of work; it (often) requires special equipment and techniques to effect repairs/modifications on SMT circuit boards.

 

I have a white-faced gauge, i just want the lights to be white where it is green now. The red can stay.

 

im goin all red.
