Last week I tried a pair of PIAA LEDs(only 2 leds per bulb) in the cluster.....no brighter than before :( On my fj45 I did the cut the shield mod, but on the 82's clusters I'm not too excited about cutting them up, so looking for some kinda brighter bulb BJ On Roids 10-09-2003, 05:59 PM Originally posted by Landpimp Hmmm, got a part number for those? or a link or something?

I have one in the dome of my '62. Super bright, no problem seeing all the way back into the cargo area. I got sick and tired of replacing bulbs, I burned out 3 within the last year. First time I've ever spent $20 on a dome light bulb, but it should be the last! hullendersauce 10-09-2003, 08:56 PM http://www.geocities.com/george_tlc/ledinstall.html got em installed lil while ago...jokers are BRIGHT! they are specific for 80's, but work in 60's too (w/ some fab work). not sure bout the rest. this link will direct you to his home page... "Right on George, thanks!" yooper 10-10-2003, 06:06 AM The "fab work" for installation in a FJ60 or FJ62 is minimal - bend a few metal tabs with a pair of pliers, that's IT. It was a two minute install for my 62 dome light and five minutes for the cargo light. I recommend pulling the fuse first - it's easy to short the fixture and blow the fuse during the install. If it doesn't work the first time, it means you installed it backwards - just flip it around and it'll work.
