@MemphisR sorry, thought you were talking about the gauge cluster. Not sure what I was smoking when I read it the first time. Lets try this gain:



The HU is actually a Ca-Fa Dashlinq4. The white is stock.

I have no idea what Ca-Fa Dashlinq4 means. Mine is orange stock. I will send you a picture at some point

Hi I had a question... what type of lights am I suppose to order for the BRZ cluster? You said it wasn't too hard so im just trying to see as to if this is actually something that I can do by myself. I either want to change all of mine to white or to blue.

Then after you finish stripping and painting(I painted the bottom flat white, though I did also buy gloss white, and silver) the needles, you insert them back into the casing(take note as the clear plastic of the needles are thin and flex a lot, they might be easy to break). Then put the black cover back over the clear part and eight use the soldering iron the melt the cover to the remaining black tab to keep it closed, or there might be enough of a lip to just snap it back on.

I am thinking about buying another gauge cluster from eBay and making a very detailed video. I didn't this last time because I started working on it last minute and was kinda rushing to get it done.

Edit: I wonder how pink would look... I think purple wouldn't be too bad.

Just out of curiousity have you made this very detailed video? I am trying to change mine I already have the pink bought and was wondering if this was made. Thanks :)

First of all thanks for the great tutorial. I was able successfully swap my led's on my cluster gauges, but when I put everything back together I noticed that my needles don't do the sweeping motion when turning on the car. Any one know how to correct that?

does anyone by chance know the type of LED that is used in the door? I was able to get everything changed over to blue but the LED's in the door are different from what is used on the console.



I did try the larger LED's but they did not work (left one original LED installed to verify if I soldered backwards.

If this is the one you're speaking of its a T10 wedge bulb.

Just finished this up going to play around with gauge cluster a little more until I get exactly what I want, but for for anyone else who wants to do this, the correct LED sizes on the are as followed:

Dual Climate Control, Clock, Traction Control, Gauge Cluster are PLCC-2

Dim switch and headlight angle switch are 3mm LEDs.

Trunk open button is a single 0603

The doors and radio are 0805

Guys does anyone know if the gauge cluster the entire assembly is replaceable. I'm asking this as I have a toyota 86 not GT , its same as scion frs.
I want to buy a spare gauge cluster just in case so I leave my original untouched. some people the gauge cluster it paired with the ECU of the car but I don't think so.
What do you guys think or know about this.

It IS tied to the ECU and car keys via the immobilizer. The car will not start after cluster swap unless you take it to the dealer and the cluster is programmed to the immobilizer.

Can you point me towards a thread or guide about this. I'd be grateful :bow:

Question for you all since you seem to be more knowledgable than me on the topic. I have my cluster out and taken apart, and would like to disable a few lights (TPMS, CEL, ABS, TC...). Can I just desolder and remove the LED's, or will that cause a problem? For example, on my excursion when the airbag light was burnt out, it would beep 5x repeatedly every hour.

Thanks guys

Should just be a matter of replacing the LEDs that illuminate the screen with blue ones.

No. You have to replace the LEDs. The only thing the blue vinyl is used for is if you want to do the Tick marks a different color than the numbers. They are illuminated by the same LED. So to get Blue ticks, and white numbers, you have to cover the ticks with the Vinyl.
