If I recall correctly, there is only 1 LED that actually lights up the needle on the tC2.

 

^ I'm not sure on the fuel gauge, but the 2 main needles have 3 LEDs each.

 

^^^ oh good, I will have to take my gauges apart and swap a couple LEDs then

Edit: the fuel gauge is the one I am thinking about, it shares 1 LED for both the needle and the gauge itself.

 

would you guys know if i need to paint the needles white? i just ordered the leds last night got all white with 2 red gonna put the red on the last spot of the tach needle and the last spot where the numbers are for the tach

but for that red to show up on the needle can i just paint it very slightly with white or should i go clear that maybe has some sort of sparkle to catch the color (needle will start white then transition to red near final led)

the 2 red circles are where the red leds will go, got the pic from the guide writen by Bloodborn

 

so i did the white leds under the needles with a red for the final and painted it white and the needle only lights up white

also i had a issue with the glass screen its only showing up orange anyone know if its repairable or do i need a whole new cluster???

 

I didn't notice this earlier.

First, you only get one color for the needle. I would suggest doing 3 white LEDs and just painting the needle the color you want.

As for the little display, there is a filter you need to remove. It will make it blue. If you want a different color, you'll need to get another filter.

 

The problem I'm having is with the display its lit up correctly but none of the numbers are showing even when I try to cycle thru the settings, is it possible to replace the screen and any idea where it can be found? Replacement cluster is around 250$

 

All fixed, i feel like a tard the LCD wasnt plugged all the way in i think it was mightyp that suggested it idr tho, pic doesnt do justice it transitions from orange to red CEL now white and trac off is white

broke the post off the back of the gas needle had to use contact cement to get the plastic re-attached to the needle backing, anyone know if we can put needles from other toyota in or other cars? will the pin that goes in the back be same or only the scion tc2 gauge cluster work

 

I like it!

 

Thread is a bit old but if someone can respond, it would be greatly appreciated.

I did the needle stuff and put it back together and the needle doesn't stick well and keeps falling down. Would gluing it back together possibly help?
