Here is a very easy and inexpensive way to upgrade your Jeep Wrangler. A LED dash light install is a very easy upgrade the can give your Jeep that custom look.
In this video, I install a set of led 194 bulbs. The process is as simple as removing a few panels on the dash and switch out the bulbs for led bulbs.
I chose blue led bulbs, but they come in a variety of other colors.
Thanks for following me on JeepSolid as I cover Jeep repairs and upgrades.

Did this to my TJ probably 9 years ago and it’s been the best bang for your buck mod I’ve done to me Jeep! Nice work and nice family.

[@TrailRecon]

Nice upgrade, I like the led strips! Great sunset time laps by the way!

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks man. Turned out really well.

[@sxstexan1956]

TrailRecon watching jeepsolod. That's cool

[@BobSmith-mv1kq]

Your video was excellent. One tip clean each lights contact points with an Emory board... Also hand tighter all the screws on the back of the gauge panel. This fixed an intermittent gauge issue I was having.. Good job!

[@JeepSolid]

+Bob Smith Excellent tip. Thx!

[@williamburch1321]

Wow, this was the first thing I did to my 95 yj. I can't believe it's been a whole year. Thanks for making the videos!

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@jimmiebroadbrook1057]

Love your show I have a 91 YJ 6 cylinder 180 mi per tank of gas

[@klb1956]

I did mine a while back and ran blue lighting under the door thresholds and under the upper edge of the rear tub. LOVE IT! Don't do the 4x4 light on the dash as I did with blue. I couldn't tell if it was in 4x4 or not. Kept that with the white.

[@Billy28376]

Just did mine. Super simple upgrade especially since my Speedometer had no lights at all. Now everything works great.

[@brandongodman1039]

Nice upgrade - a must for any drivers. Also on your gauge panel you are missing two additional sockets. Should be 5 bulbs for gauge console.

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

I have the same exact LEDs in my YJ. I love them and they've held up great!

[@JeepSolid]

Cool! Yeah, I really like them.

[@bargainfisherman7014]

Good video and nice led upgrade!

[@UlimateWarriorz]

I ordered my set today. Can't wait to put them in

[@evazkee7246]

great vid. I'm glad I saw it. I have a 95 and was thinking it was gonna be a nightmare to change. will be doing this ASAP

[@JeepSolid]

+Eric Vasquez Thank you. Yeah, it adds a cool custom look.

[@evazkee7246]

Gonna do orange LEDs and I found some white face gauges on Amazon real cheap.

[@samuelarmistead8182]

Doing the exact same thing on my 95 yj right now! Great video man and thanks for the links to the products

[@3hdninja]

That turned out really good. Very cool look. Congrats. And nice use of the beach time lapse.

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks stealth one!

[@emilioolivares7753]

Thanks for yours videos help me a lot I like blue led lights dahs thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@markroy7236]

i had already don't my gauges, but i definitely wanna go back and do the dash!

[@MrSlickmonster6973]

i did mine. i used red & blue on the speedometer and tachometer. red on the gauges... looks cool. i think.

[@JeepSolid]

+MrSlickmonster6973 Awesome! Can you share a picture of it on the JeepSolid FB page? Would love to see how it looks.

[@pathutt9122]

I did mine a while ago. I used white led bulbs it turned out amazing. I also did a led light strip wired in to my floor light and I stuck it to the underside of my dash so the whole floor lights up. I also put them in the sound bar push lights.

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah, I really like the look it gave my YJ.

[@fordx4n]

glad You did the before and after shots... looks real good

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks! Yeah, it turned out nice.

[@danielkim9311]

Super helpful video and cute family brother! Thank you.

[@InspiredJJ]

Do you ever rip your rear belt loop on the door locker getting in like me?

[@Denver1976Man]

I had to go fix a few. They are directional. So test before you put it all back together

[@TheDominicCraft]

Hope you see this comment. This video is extremely helpful and informative. I wanted to try and fix an issue I’ve had while the dash is off and I have access to it. My radio shuts off once I turn my lights off and I honestly have no clue why. It is an aftermarket radio and it has a bigger fuse in for that reason but, I don’t see why it shuts when I turn my lights off!!

[@JeepSolid]

I’d check the wire supplying power to the radio first. Does it only have power when light on? Then power wire may be coming from source only supplying power when lights on. Sounds like power wire going to wrong spot

[@evazkee7246]

I just did mine. Removed clear plastic and cleaned too.

[@JeepSolid]

+E vazkee nice! Turn out well? What color?

[@williamburch1321]

Thanks for making this video. I have my eye on a 92 yj. I will definitely do this, awesome.

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah, it's a cool look. My new project jeep is a 92yj, so lots of videos coming from that!

[@williamburch1321]

JeepSolid Nice. Can't wait to see more. Have fun!

[@lionelhernandez34]

Thanks for the link, also the one bulb at the A.C. controls can also be replaced with the same led

[@JeepSolid]

+lionelhernandez34 You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@RockyXTV]

Looks great! Soo much easier than the blue leds that I put in our Liberty (Project Renegade)

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah, pretty easy.

[@RockyXTV]

JeepSolid I just ordered some of the strips, I got blue and white. I'm not sure where I'm going to put them yet but they are soo cool looking. Thanks for the inspiration/Idea!

[@BroncoSolid]

Did you get dimmable, or not?

[@RockyXTV]

BroncoSolid They didn't say when I ordered them, but they do dim. I used 2 white ones under each side of the dash to replace the factory footwell lights. They come on when you open the door and fade out when you close it. I've got 6 more white and 8 blue, not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. Thanks again for showing me these!

[@scottallen2804]

Good Dad. Oh,cool video. thanks.

[@rasec262626]

Thank you for your amazing video, I'm about to change my lights as well !

[@JeepSolid]

rasec262626 Cool! Thanks for watching.

[@pathutt9122]

you should do a video on how to readjust the pull levers for the vent for the hood scoop. mine doesn't work but the cables are still attached.

[@JeepSolid]

Good idea. They can be troublesome.

[@ameliadickinson1713]

Yes that would be awesome

[@xB34ST96x]

for a small channel that was some great video editing

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks! I try hard to produce good content. Channels growing...!

[@quintonfischer1604]

Great video man just ordered mine! Definitely subscribing

[@JeepSolid]

Great! Thx

[@BroncoSolid]

This came out pretty awesome!

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks man!

[@gridironlion6617]

Looks great

[@eureka210388]

Very illustrative, i´ll do it to my YJ!

[@JeepSolid]

Cool! Let me know how it goes and what you think when you finish.

[@billyshelleynorth]

Sonic run!!!!

[@muhammadalbalushi52]

awesome

[@sxstexan1956]

I'm definitely going to get new lights. That's for the vid.

[@JeepSolid]

Awesome. Thx.

[@Photojeeper]

Would like to have white. I am using a KC rock light for my Dome light.

[@singledave61]

have you seen any dimmable leds yet? this is great, i just ordered red for my jeep. thank you for the video.

[@JeepSolid]

+David Iceberg I know they're out there, but I don't have the part # yet. If you find it, can you post it here? Thx!

[@4-WHEEL-DRIVE]

sweet good job

[@billyshelleynorth]

Somic run....yes pls!

[@ace1gun]

You should do a rock light install

[@mikemaybe5999]

Thought I blew a fuse I had the up and down sliding thing beside the light switch turned all the way up my red leds wouldn’t work unless I slide it like 80% of the way

[@rasec262626]

thanks to you video i was able to replace my dash lights on my YJ ; and 3 months later i also replaced my tail lights for led but now i have a problem because now all my dash lights doesn't work LOL , any idea what it could be wrong ?

[@robfassi3297]

Great video

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks!

[@-_-John-_-]

✅

[@francestabor6792]

How do you like the blue? Are they dimmable?

[@leroybishop2245]

👍

[@paulmurraythepastor]

Question?? Have you had any issues with Cops and these lights. We’re in California and have no doors ever. It’s illegal to have blue or red lights under cars etc, just curious if you’ve had any issues at all?

[@DerekGH]

Can you also replace the centre bulbs (turn indicators, shift up etc.) with LEDs?

[@jamessnook15]

Hello: I did my dash lights in LED but…. Now my temp gauge will not zero when the motor is cold. I took the dash apart put in a new gauge and this reads the same. The engine is the correct temp just the gauge won’t zero out when cold. Any ideas??

[@courtorderedjeeping1326]

I did mine in red so it wouldn't be as bright. Real easy to do.

[@JeepSolid]

Good idea. I'm going to be looking for dimmable LED bulbs though.

[@Cattabolic]

I did this mod last night with red bulbs. Why are yours so much brighter?

[@dougharlow6037]

It looks like you don't have a speedo cable? I did my LEDs a long time ago. I couldn’t find anybody on KZbin for instruction. After I finish the installation, I found out I couldn’t use my dimmer rheostat. I wanted them to be a little brighter. So, I don’t know if their full power now or if I switched them all out again and got the dim-able LEDs would be brighter? I had a heck of a time with the speedo lights.

[@DerekGH]

Love it. How did you originally install the dome light?

[@riobravomultimedia4104]

Do they dim?

[@MyShayShow]

so..I bought the blue LEDs and installed them in my dash and they don't work. Apparently they're not compatible with my 95 JY. Any ideas why?

[@scuba1788]

Nice!

[@JeepSolid]

Gave a nice look to the Jeep. Thx for watching.

[@DerekGH]

I would like to add my light strips to the headlight switch. How do I do this, what is the hot wire on the headlight switch?92 YJ

[@toastinnarizona6187]

Looks awesome, I plan on doing this but have a question. My indicator light (blinkers, brights, check engine light etc..) are all missing the bulbs are these the same?

[@JeepSolid]

+87 YJ Those bulbs are different. Much smaller.

[@toastinnarizona6187]

JeepSolid do you know what bulbs they are? I can't find anything in Jeep Forum

[@JeepSolid]

87 YJ I can't remember the # off the top of my head... I'll try to look later, but you may beat me to it.

[@TheOtherSideRacing]

Where did you connect power from for the dome light? love you videos

[@kennethhudson8013]

Are you going to upgrade headlights and taillights to leds?

[@timreeves7495]

Do you need anything else besides the bulbs for them to work or is just pop the unit out and install? It seems just pop the unit, I wanted to ask. Thanks.

[@dougharlow6037]

I'll ask again, how did you remove your speedo cable from the speedometer?

[@stillnotbetter]

Speedo is electric on this model of YJ

[@stevenreilly5959]

What Fuze is for your dash lights

[@chefmarden1369]

I have a problem with my1994 wrangle. , my gas gauge was reading full and I replaced the floater, didn't do anything I replaced my gauge and now it reads empty. , do you have any suggestions on what my problem would be?

[@RedYj92]

Are the LEDs still dimmable?

[@LukevonGeusau]

What year is your YJ, because I am confused with the amount of blubs you need!? While you only uns three blubs for the dash cluster others need six blubs? The speedo & tach both use 2 blubs, so four all together? and what about the HVAC blub? Looking forward to your reply. Greetings

[@qdraw1523]

I think I'll be doing the led upgrade like yours for the dash; looks great. reference the Led light strip - do you have a switch set up or are they on all the time?

[@JeepSolid]

I put the light strips on the dome light switch. Basically replace the floor and dome lights with the led light strips.

[@rogeliohernandez5533]

What about the the 4WD light? Is that blue as well?

[@JeepSolid]

Yup

[@juanjosedenizacosta2928]

Do you have some tutorial video to replace the original speakers that go on the board

[@JeepSolid]

+Juan Jose Deniz Acosta I've replaced them, but didn't make a video on it. Sorry.

[@jthigdon432]

I'm going to probably be doing this to my YJ. Would this work on a 95 rio grande edition?

[@stevenhernandez3793]

Do you know what your far left gauge suppose to be for?? I have same thing but I have noo idea what it's used for.

[@JeepSolid]

+steven hernandez That's where the 4x4 indicator is. Lights up when you put it into 4x

[@MrSlickmonster6973]

the lights under the dash are not turning on. any ideas???

[@christopherdavis6709]

Just got my yj 2 weeks ago Thank you the vids you do. Iv been very curious about the LED lights. did you ever find the dimbable ones you was talking about? Btw. Subscribed!

[@JeepSolid]

+christopher davis Thanks for the sub! Yeah.... I haven't gotten around to getting dimable bulbs. Haven't looked yet.

[@azxplore6760]

I couldn't help but notice but did you use channel locks to crimp the wires?

[@JeepSolid]

+Az Xplore Yeah, was having issue with my wire crimpers. Had to improvise.

[@carterstafford1446]

🤝

[@adamcampos8091]

Do you have a tutorial on how to wire ghost lights on a jeep wrangler unlimited ?

[@JeepSolid]

+Adam Campos Not yet.

[@putomorelia]

Awesome ! I have the same lights on my yj , blue as well , do you have a link for the blue strips tho? I would love to put does on my roll bar like yours .... thank you in advance

[@JeepSolid]

Here's the one I ordered www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CNNB0NM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@williamburch1321]

Hi, the dimmer on my yj doesn't work with the normal lights. When you adjust it, the lights flicker depending on position. Do you think the LEDs will work in this situation?

[@JeepSolid]

+William Burch sounds like your current bulbs aren't the dimmable type? If you get dimmable led, should work.

[@mackfeltz01]

how many bulbs do you need for the two gauges and the big cluster ?

[@JeepSolid]

+Mack Feltz There are 2 on those

[@salski33]

Mack Feltz p

[@randomatrandom]

Did your LEDs ever start blinking/flickering? Been having this issue for a while and can’t figure it out. Checked my dimmer switch and my grounds and they’re fine. All stock bulbs worked fine, issue started when swapped to LEDs.

[@JeepSolid]

Man, that stinks. Electrical gremlins can be a nightmare. No, I did not have that issue with my bulbs. Still running fine to this day. Sorry man

[@randomatrandom]

JeepSolid any idea what brand you used? Maybe I got a faulty batch/brand?

[@randomatrandom]

May have missed that in the video

[@JeepSolid]

I linked the ones I used in the video description 👍🏼

[@poppacapinya]

cool video, how many rounds of 12 ga did you use on that spider..yuuuukkk

[@JeepSolid]

Actually use a spray of wasp killer. Works well. We have them all around in the summer, but fortunately, they like to stay outside. Very rarely do I find one in the house.

[@ryanhayward5910]

I’d love to have the decked out blue on my YJ but the cops would pull me over. It’s happened before with me in a different vehicle

[@ariv7579]

I did the bulb upgrade to white LEDs a few months ago and it was a huge improvement but since doing the upgrade the temp and oil pressure gauges no longer work. The temp gauge stays at 0 and the OP is always maxed out. Any thoughts?

[@JeepSolid]

I'm going to guess you have a bad connection at the gauge or cluster. Pull it out, clean it up with some contact cleaner and see if that helps.

[@ariv7579]

did that already, twice... but I'll give it another go

[@ariv7579]

did that already, twice... but I'll give it another go

[@pathutt9122]

also does your display for the 4L and 4H work on your dash? Mine hasn't worked for a while now and I have no idea why.

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah, there's a cluster of smaller bulbs there. Loose connection or bulb out? Sorry, don't have a video on replacing those yet.

[@pathutt9122]

When I replaced my bulbs with LED I tested them out and they work I guess there's a loss of connection somewhere along the line

[@jaimesustaita285]

will that work on my 94 jeep cherokee 4.0?

[@JeepSolid]

Should. They are very similar.

[@amajedsin]

my jeep says it takes 103 's will this bulb work?

[@JeepSolid]

+Castra this replaced 194 bulbs in my jeep. Sorry, not sure about 103's??

[@Elfo8851]

what wires where use to wire the passenger dash light strip

[@JeepSolid]

+Jesus Sanchez I just spliced it into the light for the drivers floorboard.

[@Elfo8851]

thanks for the help, I just got mine done.

[@jondecarbonel8158]

Beee.u.tiful I wonder if they have pink or purple for a girl's jeep. Great results! *subbed* look forward to more yj projects

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks. I appreciate the support!

[@mrxray741]

Where did you buy those 12v led strips?

[@JeepSolid]

Here ya go: amzn.to/2wJlwla

[@georgegrundeman7509]

The music is almost as creepy as the guy!

[@JeepSolid]

Haha.. Yeah, kinda creepy song

[@condor-6-one83]

Idea... Leave the children music off.... Id rather do hear you fart then this so-called youtube music
