Default IS-F250?? IS-F style gauge cluster... ^__^

Friend of mine at *********** did some LED conversion on my gauge cluster...
Took it all apart and did some LED conversion and modification..

Change the needle to blue like the IS-F.. also change the needle for the gas and temperature to blue....
Change the turn signal and other indicators to blue and white...

Here are some picture..
I need to get better camera, needle doesn't show up blue well on the picture, since it's bright..
It's very nice deep blue in person...
I'm gona try to take picture in day time.. that'll probably show the blue color better....

Stock

IS-F250

I like it and it is easy to change the LED in the analogue guage cluster. I did it in my sister's 2005 Camry. Thanks for sharing. It makes the cluster look fancier IMO.

Basically, these little LEDs screw into the back of the breadboard behind the cluster. They are supported by a circular piece of bread board and are very easy to remove. The bulbs (LED) can be bought at Radio Shack etc.

He did it for my B-day present...
But I'm sure it's not cheap... total time he spent on my car to do the whole inside is like 18 hours...
Gauge cluster modification, center console.. buttons like on below the gauge cluster.. air vent. seat heat/cold controller...
Pretty much every lights inside the car that is green to white..
And did some crazy bright dome lights....

Yea.. it's not like what most people would like, but just wanted my push start button to stand out....
It's not really bright, so it doesn't look like disco inside....
