Amazon has a swatch book basically that I could try out. Might grab that as well.

Gotcha that’s a good point I didn’t think about. So I really will need to filter the VFD that is then filtered by the green/blue overlay of the climate control and radio correct?

This should be doable though then. I will also ask someone else their opinion on doing the stock radio before I attempt it myself.

Factory radio is one thing I haven't messed with at all. I had already bought my new Android stereo head unit by the time I decided to start down this rabbit hole of wanting to LED everything and changing display colors, etc. I wouldn't think the radio would be much harder than opening a gauge cluster or climate control. All you need is to get to the display area I would guess

shakenfake

Yeah it is easy to open up. Just don’t understand why some people say it cannot be done and changed to white.

Interesting video. Makes me want a new stereo from the 90s…
Also tells us more about the color changing with filters.


Also **** PI Clusters that guy charges $850 for an LED conversion with a stock gauge face lmfao
I am possibly going to order my bluetooth radio and will attempt this after I get it. My Sierra has almost no lights left in the gauge cluster and HVAC controls

I didn't see the video yet. But PicClusters what??? Wtf? Dude. For half that I'll give you custom LED backlighting AND give you my LED color changing needle kit with new needles

Yeah that guy is so dumb.

Most likely I will go with Carradiobulbs for all my switches and controls and then Gaugewerx for my cluster and rear view mirror.

Carradiobulbs is quite a bit cheaper is the only reason. Hopefully he can do the VFD filters like how I want. I am considering giving everything to gaugewerx and just paying the premium for uniformity but he refuses to do my stock radio LEDs so CRB it is.

MagicianElectrician

Wow. Why am I just now finding out about Gaugewerx? And he's in Katy, which is where I lived for most of my life. Is he on the forum? I need to talk with him

shakenfake

Facebook only as far as I am aware.

I found the page. And btw, I'd go with them too. A lot of those clusters are the ones I've seen online that I've drooled over. I just never realized where they came from
