Montero Gen 2.5 LED Speedometer

[vxs2k]

In order to say thank you to this forum. Here is what I did to my Gen 2.5 speedometer. Hyper white LEDs speedometer + Carbon vinyl wrapped gauge pod.


It is a very easy moditfy. You will 6-7 of those T10 LEDs & 1 T5 LED and some basic still to take out the speedometer
Make sure you buy T10 LEDs like this

These T10 LEDs may be stick out too much and size too large to fit in the speedometer bulb hole. Please be sure when ordering.

You will also need 1 T5 LED like this

T5 LEDs like this will be too large to fit in the bulb holder


I forgot to take some picture when I switching out the blubs. If any one really want a full installtion guide, I will take it apart again and make a step by step instruction.
Now I am think of a way to swap out the compress bulbs to LEDs. I will keep you guys updated soon.

Can you use the dimmer with LEDs?

Thanks for the info! Definitely something I've had on my to do list...

Has anyone seen the white face gauges for our truck? I don't about the rest of you guys, but I have an extremely difficult time seeing the instrument gauges during the day time...

The UK pajero owners club sell them,but i think it's only for the diesels. I think it's a company called lockwood make them so you could look into it perhaps.

And the dimmer still works with mine

Yes. Dimmer will work.

It is possible (likely?) that not all led lights made for cars will be dimmable since it takes additional circuitry to do that so it's best to check before you buy.:ylsmoke:

I saw a kit on either Ebay or Amazon.com I haven't looked much into it. But it might be worth the look. I just want LED lights in my rig.
