Gauge cluster LED voltages ?

[Seven-Of-Nine]

Does anyone know the voltage from the gauge cluster leds and fuel gauge leds e.g. 3v, 5v, 12v volts etc. Got a bag of 5v blue Super bright LEDS, just need to find out if I need a resistor or not to protect them or just desolder stock leds and solder these new ones in. Many thanxs if anyone can help.

Anywhere from about 2-5, but it really depends on the type of LED.


You should be fine with the 5v. Mine were 4.9v.

They are surface mount, aren't they?

THe blue Super bright LED'S are :- Nichia - 5 volts(3cd Luminous Intensity
