Dashboard Light Hack!

Hack your car's dashboard lights and make them rock!

[Yourself]

Older cars are even easier. No need to take apart the cluster, just unscrew the bulbs from the back and swap them with whatever you want.  New bulbs, or LEDs

Wow, compared to most modern vehicles, the dash of your Jeep is incredibly easy to dismantle. When you first started, I was expecting most of the video to consist of you doing all sorts of contortions while lying on the floor of the vehicle and saying things like "Just gotta remove this screw, and this one, and _this_ one is pretty hard to reach...  _now_ what's holding it in? Hmm, better open the hood...."

At least that is the way it always seems to go for me when I try to get into a dashboard, only I usually say a lot more bad words. :)

While I was in there I removed that pesky check engine light and seatbelt light 🤷‍♂️

Looks like a fun project Kip! Great work!!

Remove the cluster. Move the Gas needle. INFINITE GASOLINE!

You can just color the white in with highlighters and its 8x easier guys

Hope you enjoy this project! Thumbs UP if you do and thanks for watching!

[InternetExpIoder]

All you really need is a permanent marker!
I colored the LEDs for my phone's keypad blue and it looks awesome!

[superkaboose]

Blue is the worst for night time since your eyes don't adjust as much, reds a better option imp

[OsRsSavant]

Great video. i was worried for a while you were running out of ideas

[TaylorWhiteVlogs]

THIS is the reason I subscribed to KipKay years ago. Good work man!

[snnyburnett]

Anyone who screws this up will be very, very, very sorry to find out how much a new gauge cluster costs.

Kipkay what can I say to you, one of my favorite youtubers. Your videos bewildered me with your fascinating electronic skills. I always wanted to go to college and learn how to invent the things you do and be able to do fun cool things when I was older. Youtube is dying now and your views are dwindling out. There used to be so many comments you could have never picked mine out but now I might be more noticeable through the crowds. I'll always remember you and your channel and how it was apart of my childhood growing up. I thank you for it. Farewell Kipkay. I hope the absolute best for you

Looks good, but I'm just too afraid to try it out. I feel like I'm going to screw up.

[RedstoneAtMax]

Kipkay, I freaking look up to you. I don't know anyone else with that kind of patience!

[sIpoolguy]

color changing back-lights would be cool

[TheCreationman]

Yeah man!
Just got a 2004 Chevy Impala for work and it needs some serious (not too expensive) appearance mods. This is definitely on my list!
And because I already know how and have done soldering projects, this should be fairly simple!
I've been researching how to do this, then I remembered this video you made last year!
Great tutorial

[oreskec]

Instructions weren't clear enough, I ran my friend over with car :P

[KremitDeFrog]

so glad my Miata has twist sockets at the back of the cluster so I don't have to mess with soldering... nice result, but I don't wanna go into my cluster unless I absolutely have to..

[Sinkatze]

This is awesome, but way to advanced for me, I would screw it up :(
