Thanks for the video. When I did this, I had some that weren't lighting up. I had to disassemble again. The key is to make sure to note the orientation of the word "Toshiba". They should all be going the same way. The LED can go into the base whichever way, it is just the base that only works one way. It fits both ways which can trick you. This will make it quicker and ensure that all light up the first time. If not, you can just try flip flopping them while the cluster is hanging by the cables.
I just did this tonight and noticed the base markings were all lined up the same. So I think you are right about this. I did have two leds that I had to pull and flip, but they may just not have been seated properly. And for everyone out there doing this, you really have to push down on the leds to get them into the Honda OEM bases.
I did a similar mod to my HVAC lights I just purchased individually these and drilled out the long tube and put the lights at the top and it works fantastic and I did Green LEDs behind my gauge cluster looks awesome
Worked on my dash, didn’t want to mess wit the HVAC adaptation, but my cluster dash looks awesome! Thanks dude. Edit I decided to get the bulbs for the HVAC on eBay
Nice how-to video, man - cool how these Elements are so easy to work on. If I followed you correctly you should have used the #74 LEDs for the HVAC panel lights....and NOT the #84 LEDs which were too large
Also tried getting factory cluster bulbs and those seem to work but LEDs no matter what color or LEDs the same 3 areas light up. The speedometer and 80mph section. Top bad I can't send you a picture.
Try to reverse the orientation of the bulbs that aren't on, so from upright to downwards or downwards to upright. The polarity of the lights is most likely not matched up with cluster.
Hi There Thank you for your video , Today I do the same your way but I don't know after install all 9 light bulb turn key on but the lights not ON ??? and now my won't start look like no power ? I check battery still power ,why ??? can you help fix that problem ? Thank you so much !!!! Tim
I bought some led light from Amazon and they dont work.So what you saying is they would work I just need to install them into the old socket and not the one that came with the new one I got
I need help as well, i changed my cluster lights and only 3 sections of the cluster light up. i been struggling with this for ever. it would make my year if i can get some help!!! :-(
613lcd did you use led lights? Try pulling them out and rotating them 180 degrees and reinstall them. The (+) and (-) must be right for led lights to work.
I don’t know what the originals are, sorry. The led bulbs I put in are starting to fail. A couple of them are going in and out. It could be a connection issue, but I will diagnose it soon.
Bought the same lights for my 2004 Element, change all the light bulbs and none of them work... I tested the lights outside and the lights work, but when plugged In the cluster the wont go on 😭 checked the fused box all is in good condition, the factory light were lighting up... any idea on what could be ?
Try pulling the bulbs out and reversing the direction you have them in. When I did it, only half of them worked because the other half were in the wrong way.
