How to Make the Instrument Cluster Fully LED on a Hyundai Atos MK1

Model: Hyundai Atos MK 1 - Years 1997-2008
Part: Instrument cluster

In this video, you will see how to make the instrument cluster fully LED on a Hyundai Atos MK1; you will only need to replace the backlighting bulbs with LEDs. First, remove the instrument cluster, starting with the bezel, which is only clipped in. Then remove the screws holding the instrument cluster in place and set them aside. Now the instrument cluster is free, but space is very tight, so proceed with caution. From the back of the instrument cluster, remove the bulbs. The two larger black buttons contain T10 bulbs for backlighting, while the smaller ones are T5 bulbs and serve as indicators. The bulbs are pressure-fitted, but remove them gently; they may break. You can find LED bulbs on any e-commerce site at very low prices; for example, on AliExpress, you can buy 10 T10 bulbs for £1.68 + £0.72 shipping; T5 bulbs cost £1.14 + £0.48 shipping, also on AliExpress (and also for 10 pieces). Before refitting the dashboard, it is advisable to check the functionality of each indicator. Then you can proceed with reassembly.
