Default LED blue gauge lighting bulb help

I want to change the illumination gauge cluster bulbs of my 2007 scion TC to BLUE LED's..I know I need (14) in total.

(2) For the gas gauge

(2) For the temperature gauge.

(5) For the Speedometer.

(2) For the LCD Panel.

and

(3) For the tachometer.


*I read somewhere where someone did it that the LED's are PLCC2 sized, and to look for one's that a luminous flux (brightness) of more than 100 mcd. I am not exactly sure which size I need, unless taking apart the panel first, I was hoping you had known someone who has done it, so therefore know exactly what I need......I am looking for an ultra blue color to go with my map and dome lights already installed..thank you

Sweet! Those examples look great! How easy was the installation? I am new to making any electrical changes and wasn't sure if this is something I should get someone more experienced to install.

yes you definetely need help, i took them to a local reatailer that deals from exhaust,suspension and lighting, they had to tahe apart the gauge panel, remove the old bulbs and sodder in the LEDs. they charged me $80.00, but well worth it. i recomend finding someone with sodering experience, because the kit includes step by step instructions where everything goes, even how to take apart the board..good luck

You could have gotten the whole kit for about $20......... but I wont say where

$80 for just the gauge swap??? $45 is a bit more like it. Be careful how much you pay for what. Most of us that swap leds dont mind if you check all of us out before ordering. There are some mods that one of us may do cheaper than others, while others may be less expensive somewhere else.
