I have a 2000 Xj 2 door with the gauge cluster that consists of the Gas tank and Mph and have the idiot lights for everything else, you know what i'm talkin about? I want to put blue led's in so it matches my stereo but i was wondering if the gauges themselves are just colored plastic with a regular bulb backlight its kinda what it looks like since the mph and kmh numbers are so close yet mph is green and kmh is orange. If anyone with this plain dash set up has done the leds before how did it go? i dont want to pull it all apart to find out i cant do it. Also how can a jeep come without Rpm's lol i wish i knew what rpm's i was at when rippin thru mudholes. :2thumbsup:
why not go to a junk yard and get a full cluster, its a drop in replacement for the SE cluster, you'll also need the oil pressure sensor and the coolant temp sensor from an XJ with the full cluster. Then put LED's in that one.
Does anyone know the point of the SE cluster? Does that mean my jeeps a SE lol cuz I thought it was just Plain Jane xj? And I'm for sure gonna get a new cluster
The only point was to save money. Some people don't need full gauges and could use that to save a couple bucks. And the model doesn't matter much in terms of what you get. You could go in and get whatever you wanted at the dealership depending on what you wanted to pay. My 96 Classic came with idiot lights but my buddies came with full gauges.
yo frank we could put the gauge cluster on in my garage. Than once were done we could take our jeeps up the widow maker trail and let them eat through the mud holes.
yea mike sounds good, i'll bring my kero burner too if its soon, when i'm lettin her eat i wanna know my rpm's and this sounds like a simple plug n play swap
ya that would be good if it was a simple swap. it would make your life alot easier. we will invite chris over to so we can talk more about our custom fabrication business
chriskeenan i'm definitly goin to try this, a local u pull it has $22 instrument clusters, good deal if it works and i will make sure to record both mileages but i doubt i'll ever sell it i like it too much
Alright yep i did some research on the swap now too all i was lookin to do was switch to leds lol but now its turnin into a project, aint that what always happens when a jeep is in the question though
ok i for one have the SE gauge cluster in my XJ but it came with a full gauge cluster(changed them out because my full gauge cluster was broken and got the SE for free), i swapped the bulbs for white LED's and it just came out blue, i like the SE cluster hahahah
