Replacement bulbs?B4 light up rings on cluster,advice?

[B1B2andB4]

Hey you dirty libbo's,
Driving along tonight noticed my fuel ring was not lit up - B4 cluster.. first thing i tried was tapping the cluster and hey presto! love a bang fix!!
I'm sure its on the way out however.
Anyone help, i've never removed cluster, Can the color of the ring be changed?
While im at it what other option clusters will fit easily will the STi cluster fit?

Ta again.

Yes I changed my ones to blue. Sti cluster mmm you need the one from Subaru japan that is made for your model. I will update you with the type of LEDs I used for the rings when I get a chance

[B1B2andB4]

was thinking blue - can you post pics? hard to do?
Cheers again when you get the time JDM.

It is a jdm subaru R1. The leds you need are T1.5 Instrument LED bulb $ 1.79es from .http://www.superbrightleds.com I think of hand you need 6. It is easy to change them once dash is removed. Sti dash where only sold new in japan so importmonster is your friend. You need the exact type as you and I have in our car because there is 2 types. one like our dash and the other was in the jdm gtb

i wounld not waste my money on a sti dash but its up to you. you need the top one and it would cost about $1460 new plus postage

[B1B2andB4]

mmm for those $ STI can stay where ever it is me thinks.
Okay today half of my speedo ring went out so i need to get in there and take a look.
Is it easy to get at JDM - you say take the dash off, do i have to remove the whole dash?
Any walkthroughs posted anywhere?
What can i mess up?

Cheers again.

Hey Shaneo,

Your cluster looks great! I noticed on my cluster that I don't have illuminated rings around the guage... Is that a B4/RSK thing?

Is it as simple as soldering on LEDs? (after the dash is pull apart obviously)

Cheers,

Michael.

Damn... oh well upgrade time

Okay i think after having babies,moving house,trying to make budget to keep my job i may have time to attempt this mod.
I am a little scared of getting it all back together after i pull it all apart but i'll follow all advice ... and hopefully post some pics of nice blue led's like mr Shane.
gluk to meee

[jdm rsk]

You only remove the bulb from the back of the cluster. They twist out. On my dash the bulb holders (6) for the rings are blue. The rest are black. So just take them out pull out the old globes. Push in the new LEDs. Place back into cluster.

[B1B2andB4]

Okay - Cluster out off to buy led's.
Am i able to change the gears on cluster to blue also - 1,2,3,D,N,R?
thanks again.
