Plug and Play LED's 98-99 gauge cluster
I remember someone posting on here a while back about the Neo-x wedge bulbs. I decided to take the plunge and order some to see if they fit. After removing my old cluster to put in my new SE cluster, I took the bulbs and measured and all of the good stuff. Come to find out the Neo-5 bulbs fit. I ordered the NEOx-HP cool white bulbs, came to like $14 shipped for 5 (4 behind faces, and one behind odometer). All in all Im pretty happy minus the fact they look soft blue through the faces, and they are a little hot right where the bulbs are, BUT if you are like me and not the most electrically inclined person and dont like wiring, then this is your answer. Also the needles are much clearer in person, i just had my white balance off slightly to pic up the true color of the LED's http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...pecs%2FNEO.htm http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...de/goodpic.jpg |
looks nice i just order the crystal white's hoping they make my white face gauge cluster look better then oem bulbs ^_^
|
I had a similar look with some single smd leds from ebay for a while. they were not nearly as bright though, and i wanted a brighter than stock white, which wasnt acheived with the cool white. i just ordered some 3 smd leds from superbright and they are awesome! i didnt even think to change the one behind the odometer...ill do that tonight. i also put blue leds in my turn signals and check engine. ill post another pic once i get the odometer bulb switched. gauges look nice now :)

http://forums.maxima.org/picture.php...ictureid=24320 that was taken on a phone so its real crappy quality |
hey op, i got the same bulbs...
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...e/a4597821.jpg im going to go with warm white, as i want an oem clear white instead of this, but yes, those bulbs are nice. when i get those, im going to order the individual leds to do the climate control and switches as well :) |

im not sure what year that cluster is but the cluster i have in mine doesnt have a lit up odometer.. its the mechanical type instead of the digital type.. i wish i had one with a digital odometer.
they are usually much clearer and easier to read |
mechanical odo= 95-97, digital = 98-99, i believe
|
its a 99, the bulb wasnt seating right and all of the sudden the next day it turned on! the previous bulb was burned out... maybe issues? idk. it all works now though
|
oh, ok, im looking to do this in my 95 with the 96 cluster, but im waiting to see how they look, i know chrisman is doing it
|
Yes, I've been trying to figure this out too.
|
i want to do this to mine but my rpm gauge is busted but they would still look great
|
how do i figure ou what i need for a bulb for 95 white face mechanical gauges ?
|
wow these look great, I can finally lose the boring stock look! But i'm going to order cool white for the speed and rpm and red for the fuel and temp gauges!! yes yes, i'm surprised people haven't tried that yet.
|
So there just plug right in huh? I might need to pick some of these up. The SuperBrightLED warehouse is in the city next to where I live :P
|
yea you pull your gauge cluster from the dash on the back side they twist in and out easy stuff

does anyone have RED done?
i have a red theme going on and would love to see how it looks before i order |
Give me a few days, ordered red, should be brighter than schmelly's :hide:
Don't forget, I made an interior LED thread, this is great stuff for it, post your dawn/day/dusk/night photos at many angles with the details of which bulbs you brought!! http://forums.maxima.org/4th-generat...-interior.html |
Looks good tigershark ! What mm did you select when you bought the bulbs ? They have 3 choices. 3mm 4mm or 5mm
It also looks like these bulbs have there own bases, which is all the better as I can save my stock ones if I want to switch back to lightbulbs later. |
|
i just ordered me a set i got thr neox bulbs 5mm
|
mine should hopefuly be here friday on my birthday along with my headlights dash kit and hids took the day off to tinker hope they come in got the HP blue ones
|
very helpful, lookin to do the same here, thanks bro

To bad they don't make warm white in the NEO lineup since I want to do the auto climate control as well.
I'm just not a fan of the blue output. |

I NEED HELP GUYS
sooo after seeing this thread i attemted to led mine=) i put an led in the odometer and it worked perfect now one of the leds wudnt fit in the socket so i put a piece of metal to make contact (IDIOTIC MOVE!!!) and i put it in now MY CLUSTER AND CLIMATE CONTROL WONT LIGHT UP i checked BOTH tail lamp fuses under hood and under steering wheel both are good my tail lamps DO WORK FINE did i blow the circuit or something? sorry for thread jacking |
^^ remove the short flip the bulbs 180 degrees they only work one way you should have popped a fuse if you had a short to power a short to ground would result in the lights always illuminated the fuse is there so you dont fry up some wires or burn your car to the ground did you see any magic smoke? that would result in death of a component
hey brad you have a 99 cluster right? i got my bulbs in today installed them and i must say im a little dissaponted they dont light up like yours do 60mph and 140mph 1k and 5&1/2 to 6k are real dim actually black wut gives??:gotme: neo5 x bulbs |
I have the 99 se cluster. Did you get the regular bulbs or the HP bulbs (little SMD led on top)? if you just got the ones that were $1.29...thats your problem
|
looks good, way better than indiglo gauges
|
soo my neo5's came in .........they dont fit my cluster lol so i used them on my blinkers and high beam lites in the cluster and went to pep boys and got some leds from there completely diferent bulbs of course they only had 4 bulbs at pep boys so i need to wait till thursday to finish ill post a pic when its done 95 max with 96 gauges
