    my suggestion to anyone willing to do this on their own. Purchase the dash cluster from a junked Tacoma. Keep your stock cluster as a spare in case the mod does not work to your liking.

    Nice work man. I was looking for exactly what you were doing - even the same year Tacoma. After watching the video I think I'll begin to like red instrument lights more! Maybe I can find a pair of tinted glasses that will make the dash look blue. LOL

    i have never soldered before in my life, this was intimidating at first just because of all of the things on the electronic board but it is very simple. i did it with a battery operated soldering iron which i don't recommend because of consistency. just take your time and remember to take a pic of your needles before you remove them.

The first 3 LEDs I soldered onto the circuit board were blue for the odometer and they lit up beautifully on the first try. The next 4 don' t light up at all (3 for the speedometer and 1 for the right turn signal). I've made sure the little corner pieces of the LEDs line up with the tiny white dots on the circuit board and it seems like a good solder, but nope, no lights. Any ideas?

      No, before 2002 there was a simpler system with bulbs you could actually pull out and replace, plug and play (as long as you know how to pull your instrument cluster). For pre-2002 Toyotas it's much easier, look for videos specific to pre-2002. No soldering required.
