Also, how hard would they be to replace? do i just follow the instruction on the write-up on how to replace gauges and find the bulbs? Is it hard to replace the bulbs in the center console? 4runners rock! Thanks in advance!
yes. to everything you said above. oops, except it's not hard at all, it was probably one of the easiest things I've done. it's that tiny bushing on the clutch pedal return spring that makes me want to throw wrenches! you may notice that my middle bulb was a dud and the blue didn't come out in it. I am fixing that tonight and I'll try to post a pic around 9pm tonight. sort of a before and after of the mod of my mod.

Are the lights in the center console the same 194 size as the gauges lights?

Mood Lights? haha that's funny. you kill me. where did you get those gauges Wild Bill I like those!

here, I fixed that center light bulb. the dang one that I put in there was about 5 times brighter than the rest so it looked white. I guess it was a defect blue light. I will probably do the console this weekend, taking that console apart is a major PITA!!!

Thanks alot Wild Bill!!!!!

I just checked out your lights on your site and, well,, it looks like I have another project ahead of me. that looks awesome. right after I get my tjm t15 from mike then I picking up the supplies fpr the led stuff. that blows the indiglo stuff away in my opinion! CRAP!!!! I just realized that I can't find any for a '98 5-speed with black faces. So I guess I'll have to try what you stated in an earlier thread about just using the leds in place of the three bulbs in the gauge.

Wild Bill- those gauges look just like the ones I installed from Procarparts- are they? Looks like I'll be getting some LEDs as well...

I know this is a old thread but..

I have a friend that has a 2001 4Runner Limited..

He bought these gauges off ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...item=2408013426

But He has no clue how to put them on..

Does anyone have any instructions or tips, and is it hard or easy?

Also I have heard many people have like needles stop working Sometimes, Did anything like that happen to u guys?

THANKS

There's several write-ups in the tech section. What year? I think there's 3 write-ups here:

https://www.yotatech.com/~corey/tech/techpage1.htm

HTH and good luck to your friend.

Theres two 94 Gauges Write-ups and one 99 Write-up

My friend said the 99 4runner installation instructions might not be exactly the same directions for the 2001..

THanks A LOT!

The instructions for the '99 should be fine for your friends 2001; they're both 3rd gens. If not, try searching the forum a bit more. I'm pretty sure you'll get plenty of replies/help later on in the morning. There are so many knowledgeable people on here! By the way, welcome to the yotatech!

Ditto what he said- they're probably pretty similar. Any questions, just ask on the board and someone will know. Welcome!

2004:

Do your friend a favor and get him to register for this forum.

Also, the procedure for the 2000 install will be identical to the 1999 install (which I wrote). The only thing that might no be identical is if his faces lie flat on the original gauges. Then he wouldn't need to cut the two holes out at the top.

Another piece o' advice: I can't remember who, but someone here on the forum said that its ok to unscrew the tach/speedo screws. I've never done this and have been warned not to, but he says its ok, so let your friend choose.

Okay, no multimeter here so I need an answer to anyone who has done this. Whice wire is the headlight wire? Or is there is an actual wire to the stock gauges? I am all ready to cut & splice only have no way of telling on from another. Thanks!
