Hello, one question i have a 1997 mercury mountaineer 5.0, all the lights in my dash bezel/cluster panel went off, do you think they all got burnt or it's possible that a fuse got burned, the reason because i saw in this video that there is a lot of light bulbs, if i have to replace them all, any advice, also do you know what fuse could be, thanks in advance if you know something about it, thanks again.
I did this job last summer with blue LEDs and it came out great! Didn't even have to crack it open and scrape the green tint off. Edit: I also changed the other indicator lights in the cluster (turn signals, 4x4, etc) but you want to keep the ABS and airbag lights incandescent because if you put an LED in those, they'll stay on and won't turn off.
Nice! I’ve heard of people doing that but they also had to scrape the green off. Good to know. I’ve kept my other indicator lights incandescent for that reason. Not that I knew it would stay on but mostly because I know LEDs can cause some circuit issues.
LEDs are awesome upgrade for inside the cab! I would save your money for the headlights and buy projector headlights. The LED bulbs fit in the stock headlight housings but the LEDs don’t work with the old reflectors. The light is scattered and there’s no beam pattern.
All your videos are awesome, thanks!!!! In my case, I only replaced the ones in the cluster who have the ILL inscription at the insertion hole or "socket" (only 5 of them) and then I replaced the two bulbs at the AC Control panel. So, in total, I use 7 bulbs from the LED package. I only replaced the ILL ones only because I had the ABS flickering with LED bulbs, I don't know why. Auxito 12V 10pcs 194 168/2825, I found them in Amazon.

I replaced all my guage lights with LED a couple years ago. I went with blue for the main lights and color matched the others (green for turn signals), but I got the wrong ones and they are not very bright. and the dim function doesn't work as well. At least with the LED's I got. I think that the 4x4 light on mine didn't like the LED and stayed on all the time so it is a regular bulb. I have just been to lazy to pull the dash apart again and get brighter LED's. Summer project!!!
Nice! You definitely have to experiment with LEDs to get them correct as far as brightness and working well. I only replaced the gauge bulbs, Speedo, and odometer. I kept all the other warning/indicator lights incandescent. I feel ya. It’s a process to remove the instrument cluster.
I know this is 2 years old, but that's why I'm hesitant to use LEDs. With OEM you know what it's going to look like. With LEDs even if they say they meet OEM, they won't look the same. It will be different and you hope it falls on the side of better looking (for your tastes).
What would you recommend doing if your dash lights don’t come on at all? I replaced all the bulbs and the check engine light and battery light and stuff come on but the tac and speedometer and the others don’t
LED bulbs can create issues, but only in certain applications. I haven’t noticed or seen any issues with installing LED lightbulbs in the gauge cluster.
@@TheMinuteMasters😮😮...1993 Ford f150 5.0 truck...Previous owner installed these Green LED's in the Dash panel...Ever since I bought the trk, they like to play "Hop, Skip,and Jump" as to which ones don't stay lit...Now, the Odometer one won't stay on...Have to bump and fiddle with Odometer/Trip Mileage Selector button to get it to work till I hit a bump in the road, then it goes back off...Any fix you got in your "Wheel house" to remedy this malfunction would be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance...😊😊😊
Yea this video helped me go through my process of changing the LCD and some Lights to LED. My Volt Guage doesnt seem to be registering correctly, does anyone know how to fix ? Its def seated properly and When the cars on and I Tap the guage in that spot it gradually increases until it wont no more (around 14.v) i have a aftermarket radio that displays the charging system volts but its also a bit nerv racking not having the working guage.
I would look up what powers the volt gauge and I assume there is a sensor involved. Basically, go part by part and see what could possibly affect the gauge. Is it battery connectors, wires to battery, loose connections, sensor, etc.
@TheMinuteMasters correct. I think it is because the others lights are right behind the gauge where as the tach has 2 but they kina have to shine through a tunnel. Same as my heater and ac and blower control panel, it dims faster as well
My entire speedo is out, but the left and the right sides are good. However, there isn’t any light at all that bleeds into the speedo. Do you think this issue is just the bulb? Or could it be a fuse issue?
I would check all of your bulbs. There is a center bulb that lights up the speedometer. If you tried replacing with an LED then you have the orientation of the bulb incorrect. LEDs are weird like that.
My wife bought it from Amazon. It’s pretty good, I used to have the Steelie ball thing they sell at Home Depot which was faster to mount my phone. But this one doesn’t require anything on your phone.

Well…looks like I can’t get the instrument cluster all the way out. The cable going to the gear selector in my truck is too short and I can’t tilt it back to pull the cluster out. Any way around this wire?
Got it. Changed all the bulbs to LED. When I turn the lights on now the truck makes error noises. Lights look great but I hope the beeping goes away. 😂 🤦♂️
@@TheMinuteMasters beeping error noises were because the bulb for airbag service needs to remain halogen. Once I swapped that bulb back the beeping went away. My truck needs airbag serviced. I think we have same truck. Mine is 95 XL too. Mine has buzzing sound when the door is open as well as when I startup the truck instead of the normal startup chimes for some reason. 🤷🏼♂️
@@lucasprittsmusic Gotcha! That makes sense. My error light bulbs are probably still halogen. I’d have to check but the difference in amperage does weird things.
Question, how many bulbs do i need to swap all the gauges to led? Im thinking 5 but im not sure as each left n right has 3 bulbs. Thank you , im asking because i want to avoid putting leds on the warning lights
Hello my friend did you finished your project with the instrument cluster? Do you have the name of the seller on eBay, i want to order those lights, 20 bulbs for that price, that is awesome, 194 is that incandescent ones right, please help me with that, thanks in advance.
Might be a stupid question, but did you turn the headlight knob to make sure your dash lights are at maximum brightness? You can upgrade to LED bulbs to make everything brighter.
@@TheMinuteMasters not stupid enough for me... I recently bought the truck but yeah I didn't realize you can turn the knob. Ill try now and see if that fixes it...
It could be that there’s not enough resistance. From what I’m told (and I’m not an electrical expert), The resistance flow of electricity through a standard incandescent bulb is higher than a LED bulb. Basically my understanding is it takes less power to light up an LED bulb. This efficiency sometimes causes some systems to act up or think the bulb is bad. Did your gauges at least light up?
@@TheMinuteMasters yes, and then my starter relay had a problem even when I put a new relay in so it’s hotwired from the battery to the connection on the relay plug but all the bulbs turn on but the harness starts to smoke up behind the cluster so I only have turn indicator bulbs In for safety but I can’t see how fast or tach or temp or gas at night
I tried this, great disassembling part but it seems like it didn't work. The battery, signals and small lights work, the meters don't though. What could it be? Sorry but I have a 1994 xtl f150 and Id like them to work so I don't need to use my phone as s flashlight
If some of the lightbulbs don’t work at first, try an incandescent bulb. If that works, then you need to reverse the orientation of the LED bulb for some reason LED bulbs are position sensitive.
@@TheMinuteMasters awesome, thanks for the fast response! Can't tell you how many sellers I've messaged on Ebay and Amazon asking if their LEDs were dimmable.
@@donchapman1853 So the bulb at the top center lights the speedometer, the two bulbs that are left and right of the Speedo light the gauges(battery, coolant, gas, etc.) The row of three bulbs running vertically and horizontally on each side and bottom light the different warning lights. Lastly, the two bulbs on either side of the plain white section of the back of the Speedo, light the lower part of the gauges.
Hey man great video. Quick question hopefully u have an answer. I Did this on my 94 f150 but i changed all the led bulbs not just for the gauges. I changed the build for the abs, check engine...etc basically all of them And now there is a beeping sound. Do u have a clue what it could be?
