LED instrument cluster question - SRT Forums

The Diesel · 03-06-2007, 02:39 PM

couple question befor i start. I searched but came up with many different answers.

For the imstrument cluster i need to get #194 LED bulbs of any color correct? But how many bulbs do i need?

Is the boost guage also a 194?

yes, i wouldn't go with red if i were you.

you need 6 for the dash and one for each gauge you plan to change.
they are all 194

Ok so i got all the guages and the cluster is sitting next to me on the kitchen table. I just cant get the damn light out of the holder, that part thay twists back into the cluster. I figured this would be the easiest part.

take some needle nose pliers, and twist them counterclockwise.

No i got that part out, but i can get the stock clear bulbs out of the grey part that you twist out. I just shattered one of the stock bulbs but theres still the whole base of the bolb shuck in there.

do the new bulbs have to be soldered in the sockets?

Is your srt4 an 05 if so those bad boys dont come out!
you have two options you can go to your dodge dealer and get the 03 to 04 bulb harness 6 of them that well be a pretty penny or get the autometer style condoms that slip over 194 bulbs they come in packs of three for like $4.00 all different colors good luck

They do come out and you dont have to solder or add any extra parts. Just PM me.

Now i'm really afraid to see your kit instructions if someone with an 05 buys it.

Back to the bulbs, 6 + 1 for boost gauge? or 6 +1 boost, +1 speedo, +1 Tach, +1 fuel, +1 Engine Temp?

*Edit*
Nevermind, pulled my head out of my arse and just read, found out and ordered.
