Amazing. This is a $350 job in my area. You explained everything from model numbers, LED's, how to do it all. Your awesome man.

I absolutely love doing this kind of stuff. I took apart my buddies gauge cluster and did his backlights for him. Given a 2005 Silverado cluster is much easier, but I still had a blast

Mouser LED.. not eBay Chinese knockoffs. That's how you know this is a pro. This guy right here is the real deal.

Great video with clear explanation of the process and product. Also I've watched a lot of your cluster repair videos older to new and I like the microscope viewing you added. Keep up the great work!

Got my Kingbright LEDs in today! Was very surprised at how small that they were. They were only about 0.10 " square! I guess the microscope really made them seem much larger than they are. Very excited for the Mosfet to arrive and to make the repair and the swap.

Jeff, Thank You for this great video

Awesome work Sir. Thank you very much.

Great repair. Thanks for sharing.

Great Video! Very professional hand work and your work output is excellent quality!! Liked !

Very nice! thanks for the information.

Excellent video Very informative

hey jeff do you have a link where i can buy the mosfet? or which type is it?

Hi jeff awesome channel. Quick question probably a dumb one but ill ask anyway. If i wanted to add a Led my car somewhere and i was using ohms law to figure out what size resistore i need what voltage do i use for the calculation. Would i use just 12 volts or 12.6 for where my battery usually is when i start the car or do i us 14 since thats what the alternator is putting out once the car is running. Ive tried to search the web for the answer but no luck.

Great job👍🏻

How much would you charge to change leds from the factory green to purple in a 2008 Chevy hhr

AWESOME CONTENT!!! please do more for 2010Escalade?? Can you do the light swap on the buttons for the lock, windows and ac controls?

Jeff. Is it possible to reprogram a 2009 Chevy Suburban cluster? Mine is missing the Relearn Keyless Remote feature.

You put the same mosfet or better rated? I think these problems are caused by underrated part.

Why is the mosfet such a high failure item and is the replacement better or same as factory?

Noticed that cluster already had LED in it. Where those OEM? Most videos I've seen are regular incandescent. I'd imagine installing the LEDs you used on one of the incandescent boards would require limiting resistors right?

Really enjoy your videos and I might have to see about sending a cluster out of my 2001 silverado to you sometime. For some reason it will be working fine then will suddenly go back into power up like it does when you first cycle the key on. I suspect probably a broken solder joint just from learning from your videos. Two questions, is there any way that you could do a video on how the displays work on the GM products? I think it would be a neat thing to find out how they work, and could you recommend to me a good blue LED replacement for my dash backlighting? After seeing this backlighting I might like to do a blue backlighting on my truck as well. I understand that on the 01 truck that the backlighting is just plug and play but I would really like to have your opinion on which LED upgrade bulb to use.

Also where do you get the servo motors or stepper motors as I believe their called? Thanks for the great Vids and good narration. If you have time sometime maybe if you could create a smaller length video describing your procedures doing your soldering, equipment, parts used and why (quality/etc) vs other brands.

I need to do some more searching in your videos and see if you listed the part number as you did in this video. Picked up a scope a couple weeks ago. Need to change some things around in garage to make room for it and have workspace. I’ll go poke around your 04 style videos to see if I can find the bulb type. It’s the breaks of being new to this part of stuff in automotive repair. Funny thing is my 06 impala has no backlight issues (knock on wood) but the Tahoe has plenty in the dash cluster, light switch, 4wd switch, manual heat backlighting. They must’ve used some bad suppliers at that time, tech changed in 2 years obviously.

But usually 5 mm LEDs focus a light forward in a beam rather than spread it out like a surface mount, so you might get really bright spots directly underneath the LEDs.

@@jeffescortlx I can't speak for the logic in submarines for red ambient lighting, perhaps it's different when the whole room is lit with red ambient light. Imagine if the entire control room was dark except for one bright red light source. For me at least, the red cluster being the only source of red light in the car just seems annoying especially if you're driving for hours. My daily has blue and it's quite comfortable. Unfortunately, in the spare car, the back lighting is incandescent with red filters which would mean removing the filters leaving the lighting white and probably uneven. I'd certainly change to blue if I could find good led replacements for the incandescent lamps. As you've said, there are many replacement leds on ebay but all cheap unrefined Chinesium. BTW, I love the microscope and it's not as expensive as I thought it would be.

How can you tell which side of the led is neg and positive?
