Instrument cluster lights

[seventy4burban]

So interesting, I just replaced all the instrument cluster lights with LEDs. During my check it seems one of the instrument cluster lights is bleeding light into the right turn signal indicator...... Anybody ever experience something like this? I'm wondering if there's broken chunks inside and the light is not getting blocked

Maybe the incandescent bulbs were duller so you had the same effect before, but you can see it much better now, and therefore you're aware of it!

Possible they were pretty grubby looking

Is it possible to replace dash globes without pulling out the instrument cluster?

If you mean the lights no

The only thing I managed to do without removing the binnacle was discard the fuel light... the thing would stay on, no matter what, so I removed it altogether! You just go behind it and twist the bulb and remove it... But it is certainly impossible to replace all the bulbs that way

Also: expect to have some lights not working upon reinstalling, it's binnacle black magic, baby... :D

FWIW I replaced the cluster circuit board when installing LED bulbs for peace of mind. I noticed very slight burning/marks on the original. Zero issues with any bulbs not working.

While you're in there I would install the new circuit board as well! I also did that (it was orange, though) and I feel like everything is "tighter" (I'm sticking with incandescent)

Definitely a must do! Kudos to Timeless

I cleaned everything out and put some new foam around the indicator lights on the speedometer and tachometer ISO put a little extra foam strip at the top block out any light from the instrument cluster lights. Everything looks pretty good I'm just waiting on the circuit board to come ithttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250913/ec4f32c32540154b4f4d9614a137ca4b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250913/5e32e1f0333da6b81edbc7d895a33b37.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250913/74de333c101ac9a40d5085722c9c86c5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250913/17f28d688b51c077e3c525a8446bb0c2.jpg

I just ordered one to use when I do the bulbs....
