Questions & Answers

Is it possible to get bulbs that are brighter?

I wasn't happy with the kit because I wanted led white and it came in a soft or baby blue. I wasn't happy with it either, but I was told that an electronics store like frys might have them.

Will this fit a Silverado from 2008?

On the year 2008, it will not work.

Is this going to work on my 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 2500?

It is not compatible with the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 2500.

Will this fit in a Chevy Equinox from 2007?

This kit can save you up to a hundred dollars! On a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado, I installed these stepper motors with clear LEDs
4/5

It took me about a minute. Six (6) motors and eight (8) LEDs were replaced in five hours. Here are a few pointers to help you get the job done faster and better:br>br>1. Temperature of the solder iron Preheat the oven to around 260 degrees Celsius (500 degrees Fahrenheit). Set the temperature to just above the point where the solder in the kit begins to melt and flow.
2. Holding the soldering iron on the board for more than five (5) to eight (8) seconds will cause the board to overheat. Any more would risk damaging the stepper motors' very small pad. To remove the molten solder, use the solder sucker that comes with the kit.
3. Identifying the orientation of LEDs: The anode () is the LED's longer lead, while the cathode (-) is its shorter lead. Pin A11 (on the top row, second from the left side when looking at the back of the board) is the positive illumination voltage from the vehicle for the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado. This circuit will require the connection of the anode (longer LED lead). Checking for continuity from the A11 pin to each of the backlight bulb pads will help you figure out which pad the anode should be soldered to.
4. LED lens: A bright spot appears behind the gauges due to a large amount of light emitted from the top of the LED. The LEDs' output was made very similar to the light provided by incandescent bulbs by painting the curved lens of the LEDs with white paint. br>br>If you have some experience with electronics and soldering, this is a fairly simple project to complete. As others have mentioned, there are a number of excellent YouTube videos that you should watch before you begin to get a better understanding of what is involved. br>br>By doing this job yourself, you can save anywhere from $100 to $200!.

The cluster on this 2004 Silverado is like new
5/5

It's hard to believe that for $30, you get a soldiering iron and a soldier sucker, as well as all of the parts necessary to completely rebuild the instrument cluster. All of the stepper motors were replaced, and the lighting was upgraded. All of my gauges were broken, but they all functioned perfectly. A few things to remember: 1. br>br> De-icing does not require a lot of heat. soldier. Temperature should be set at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, with a quick touch lasting no more than two or three seconds. On the stepper Motors, I only used the soldier sucker.
2. Although the stepper motors are pinned to the circuit board, the lights are surface mounted.
3. To give yourself enough room to work, finish the lights before moving on to the steppers. On the lights, the polarity of the light is important. After you've soldiered them up, check the board by plugging it in. I had four that weren't working, and it took me less than five minutes to fix them. Turn around, soldier.
4. When you're ready to install the cluster, plug it in and start the car to test it; I had to reposition the oil pressure and tach, and I had pressed the temperature on too hard (it wouldn't move). Everything is working great now that I've got it dialed in. I spent the best $30 I've ever spent on this job, which took about 2 hours to complete.

It's simple, but it's frustrating
3/5

The product arrived in the same condition as it was packaged and shown in the photo. My biggest complaint about the product is that it comes with no instructions. There isn't even a hint or a link to where installation instructions can be found. Having said that, I did come across a number of written and YouTube instructions for replacing the stepper motors. My truck, on the other hand, came with incandescent lights on the gauge cluster, whereas the kit includes LEDs. Although the LEDs are a direct replacement, they will not function unless they are installed in the correct polarity. I couldn't find any information on how to tell which solder point was positive and which was negative when it came to bulb or LED installations on the internet. I'll tell you that the positive leg of the LED is the longer of the two for those who come after me. When they're cut to the same length, you can tell which is the positive leg because the negative leg looks like an arrow inside the LED and points to the positive leg. I found all of my positive connections by carefully connecting the gauge cluster PC board to the dash of my truck and turning on the lights, then taking one of the LEDs and going around to each set of bulbs, checking the polarity and marking which was positive. Also, there probably won't be enough of the color you choose because I believe there are 10 or 11 LEDs of each color red, blue, green, and clear, and I believe you'll need one more than is supplied in each color. As a result, for the turn signals, I went with clear ones. I went with blue for the rest. By the way, in order to find the positive lead, you'll need to turn on your turn signals and hold your tester led carefully. Because it is flashing and not always on, you must hold the leads very carefully to ensure that they are making contact and that you can tell which way is positive. br>br>Finally, I'm glad that my truck only required one less stepper motor than the kit provided because one of the stepper motors was defective. br>br>Once everything was up and running, the next problem I ran into was getting all of the needles to zero after they were installed in the truck. A counter-clockwise stop is built into the stepper motors. The problem is that once the truck powers up the board, the zero in the truck will most likely not be the same as it was when you set the needles to zero at that stop as described in most videos. So I put everything together except the top clear lens, drove around in my truck, and fiddled with the needles until they were all where they needed to be to zero them out. It took us about two and a half hours to complete everything.

$31 includes FOUR different color LED options as well as all new stepper motors
5/5

A soldering iron, solder (neither of which was used), a pry tool, and a solder sucker were also included. It's a fantastic offer. I wouldn't recommend it if you've never soldered or sucked solder. However, for those who solder, this is a $31 fix that also comes with bonus tools. On all of my gauges, I now have precise readings. There are no instructions included, but there are numerous YouTube videos available. THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT MOST VIDEOS DO NOT MENTION: After you've soldered on your motors and replaced your needles, rotate your needle counterclockwise once more to ensure it's in the proper position. The stepper should be turned counterclockwise, and your needles should be at zero. This is accomplished by allowing the needles to slide easily along the shaft. Your readings will be off if you do not do so. This is a fantastic deal, and I would gladly repair any of my friends' instrument clusters.

I was able to save a significant amount of money as a result of my efforts
5/5

The three stepper motors that hadn't worked in years were replaced for the first time ever sodering. I NOW HAVE GAUGES! The blue LEDs were also used, and they look great. Don't put the gauge hands on until you've checked all of the LEDs; I had to spin three lights to figure out where the /- was. in the opposite direction.
