Just did this to mine. I recommend buying the LEDs from this gentleman here. Instructions made it easy. Turned out great.

[@Tachtronics]

I’m glad it worked out for you and thanks for the business!

[@jerrymaurer2408]

Just installed the LEDs I ordered from tachtronics. Everything works great. I would add that I saw in another video somewhere that you can check your lights by taking one of the square 9V batteries (used in smoke alarms) and hook it up to the far left bulb slot, which is empty on my 2003 Tahoe. I used that to check each LED as I installed them. That way I didn't have to wait until I reinstalled the cluster to find I goofed on one (which I did).

[@Tachtronics]

Glad to hear it went well for you 😊

[@bleedblue139]

Wow! Thanks man I bought the white leds and shipping was extremely quick and gauges light up 100x better than new and so crisp, if anyone is on the fence with this it comes with instructions and is pretty easy and worth the effort, awesome seller!

Great video but your desk lamp is too bright. Can't see the LED lights very well when ON or OFF.

[@ronaldopanaligan6975]

I did this to my 2001 Venture only because I cant find the replacement bulb. Do not pull off the needles or you could damage the delicate plastic gear inside the gauge. Instead desolder the gauge from the board. I had to buy another gauge as a result. I had to put the old gauge back since the mileage is lower and I did that by simply desoldering the gauge from the back.

[@randymartens7825]

Car Hack on the 03+ GM pickups and SUVs, if the stepper shaft comes out with the needle, it is an outdated stepper and should be replaced anyway. If it is the latest x27.168 model stepper, the shaft will not come out when removing the needles.

USA4US the gear indicator is not a matter of lights being out, the screen itself is dim. It can be repaired but if you’re not comfortable soldering, I’d recommend hiring a professional. You’re welcome to ship the cluster to us if you’d like for us to fix it for you.

[@scottysgarage4393]

Never understood the point of marking the needles; the stepper motors have a built in stop and self-test. Just push the needle all the way down to the stop, remove it. When installing set it on gently and turn to the stop, again, before pushing them all the way down. Plug it up, good to go.

[@mattsimmons6877]

I have a quick question I know when I installed LED lights in my turn signals on my 05 GMC 2500 HD I had to have a little box that convert it the electricity so that the LEDs Would work if you’re replacing your normal back lights with LED do they not need anything else to make them work?

[@Tachtronics]

You do not need to install anything in addition to the LEDs. These LEDs have built in resistors, all that is needed is to solder them in where your old incandescent bulbs previously were.

Are the rest of your dash lights coming on (ex. Radio, HVAC controls, etc…?) if not, you’re light switch is out. If it’s just the cluster not illuminating, I’d reflow the circuit board where the wires plug in to the cluster.

One going out should not cause the rest not to light up. They will fail individually if that makes sense.
