Well, the MR2 is Crimson Red & it was Crimson Pink when I bought it back in 2001. Some very light wet sanding brought the color back, & then polish & waxed it. The truck is not too bad even though the clear coat is peeling on hood & roof some (common problem). The 1990 4X4 is Silver Metallic.

Here is a pic of both...

Are 74s definitely the size for the instrument cluster? I saw where another 2002 used 24s....I have a 2001...so they should be the same as a 2002 I think.

 

My '98 uses #74s... My sister's '99 uses #24s. I would bet that yours uses #24s as well.

 

My 2002 uses #74's. I really don't know what determines which bulbs each 4runner uses. It might just be better to pull apart the dash and find out before you order them.

 

. i just ordered 4 24's based on the consensus that the 02' 4runners use 24's and not 74's. if that's the case, ill just use the 74's that are for other stuff and order more later!

 

Does anybody know how many LED bulbs i need for the dash(gauge cluster) of my 99 tacoma w/tach? is the install the same as on the fourrunner?
thanks in advance

 

anyone?

 

ive been searching for this for a while man, i asked many questions but no one has given me a solid list. i have a 1999 4runner sr5 and i have found a couple people say that the bulbs for the dash are #24. and that u need 3 of them.

 

What LED have you used? Do you have an image or link?

How big LED can be (tall)?
I was considering one of those, but not sure that some will fit. How deep is the hole and how tall LED can be?

 

Alex, i used the second one. It fit in the places i used them, it was kind of tight in a couple of the spots but i just gently squeezed them together and they fit. I think all of those would fit. Now on your 2005 im not sure. Your on your own on that one sorry. Or else come on down to maryland and ill do it for ya.

For everyone's info, my 93 4runner used 6 #194s (two on the blinkers, and four on the spedometer, tach, center, and odometer) and 2 #74s (one each on the side for fuel & battery, and for oil & temp).

I found a couple of white #194 ledss from a local auto parts store, but no luck with #74s... noone just carries them in this town!!

Oh well... time to go online...

 

Good to know^^

 

anyone know if there is a write up for a 1st gen 4runner or 2nd gen pickup? I have a base gauge (no tach) in an 87 pickup and would love to do this.

 

just subscribing to the thread. Great write up!

 

tumor, i believe someone has done it but not sure. It wouldnt be hard, pull the cluster count the number of 194s and then buy that number of led's. sorry im not much help. if you want to come out to maryland id be willing to help you figure it out!

 

Hey man thx for the write-up it helped me out alot since i had no idea what i was doing... i tried to go the cheap way with some cheap leds from v-leds but they arent to bright as i hoped... so ima have to order some others from autolumination like you... Once again thx for the post it helped me out.
-oh btw... would you happen to know why on the 99 gauges you cant change the color on the blinkers, i swapped out to purple but they just made a turqouise color...

 

not to be a d!ck but thats kind of funny. but yes i have a general idea, there is a green piece of plastic on the gauge cluster that make the original blinkers green, so youve got purple and green in the mix which is why you have a turqouise. I would try to find brighter bulbs or a different color because taking the green plastic of the arrows would be hard and once off the leds would be blinding. i have blue and with the green plastic on its still blinding. good luck.

 

Nice job and great write up. I wish I saw this when I had my cluster out. Long story short...bought my 4runner and failed MA state inspection 'cuz the CEL was blown! For all others...it's a really simple process and WYORunner has done the legwork in finding the bulbs! Way to go!

 

How do you figure out what kind of bulbs you need?

 

I put 194 bulbs in my 158 socket and it fit it's light out so i cant check to see if they work or not does anyone think they will?
