Changing Dash Lights/speedometer
 

Looking to change the color of the dash lights in my 2002 ranger.
Want to make it just white LED
Is it just a simple replacement or are the lights already white with the speedometer having the green color

The lights are white and the green tint is on the gauge cluster.

I think there's a how-to on the forum for removing the green tint, but it basically involves taking everything apart and sanding the green tint off of the back of gauges.

ok thanks

Yup, the gauge overlays have a color filtering on the back side that can usually be lightly wet sanded off so you can use white led's (hopefully buggman led's) to make the #'s all white or you can use colored led's to change colors.... if you have red needles you'll need to do a little more work by painting the back of the overlays with a translucent paint like dupllicolor metalcast paint & use white led's.
I've tried colored led's behind red needles & the results are crappy. They'll be very dim & nearly impossible to see at night :(

Buggman, I sent you a pm and didn't hear back. I'm looking to replace my worn out gauge bulbs with some of your LEDs. I'm hoping it will look stock green only brighter / crisper?

I've pmed him and haven't heard back either
