It feels like I've moved into the 90's! Installed inclinometer today and added a few leds. Looks pretty fun at night. Enjoy!

now all you need is the SR5 instrument cluster to get a nice tach, and the instrument panel will be perfect!

Good morning and thank you! Just fun to try at least, some people might not like the brightness, but I actually prefer to see my gauges with a quick glance. I might try the green, but these are the ones I tried, much cheaper then 2 for $12.99 at Autozone! Good luck!

Yeah I was thinking more green for stock, but I like them bright too.

Hey toyotadad, how's them LED's holdin up?
They look exactly like the ones I got from wally world for my license plate light, they only lasted about 4 months; they didn't just quit working, they got to doing this irritating flicker, and both within a week of each other like it was planned - the dome light is still going strong though.
It takes more fossil fuel resources to produce new vehicles than it would take to maintain and fuel any 70's or 80's vehicle for a million miles.
