Orange instrument panel -dash

I have a 2011 - it has the orange panel and I’m really not fond of it anymore (ever). I’ve seen some with blue dials. It this a later year 2012-13?
IIRC there was a swap thread but can’t find it.
Is it possible to switch these out?

thanks

Thanks!

That looks way more than I can handle.

 

The Limited trim models had the blue cluster. Sometimes called an optitron cluster which toyota has used for years on other models.

I found one on ebay for a reasonable price. You can easily tell the difference because the optitron is tinted black. You cant see the gauges when it's off whereas the regular orange cluster is clear. I just searched tons of tundra clusters until I found a black one.

I think there may have been some wiring changes between 07-09 and 10-13, but I can not confirm. I would be looking for a 2010-2013 cluster to fit a 2011.



When it's off

 

It's a good upgrade IMO. The orange cluster is horrible.

 

I have a 2012 and the cluster is orange/red or whatever. I actually like it but the blue looks to be a little easier on the eyes.

 

This was the original post. I don't know if these members offer this service any more.

I ended up swapping the entire dash and cluster from a 2015 into my 2007. The newer look is much better than the old orange style.

The limited edition trucks have the optitron cluster that has the white/blue look and the smaller digital LCD display. For the most part it is a direct plug and play swap as far as wiring.(You might have a small issue with sonar sensor inputs or something but the best I can remember right now 90% of the wiring is the exact same. I have all the diagrams to verify this.) The biggest issues is the odometer correction. The mileage data for your truck is stored in a computer chip inside the instrument cluster. If you swap clusters your truck will now show the incorrect mileage. I think you can buy an optrion here and they will program the mileage for you. It would then be a simple plug and play once you get it. https://www.taninautoelectronix.com...a-tundra-limited-optitron-instrument-cluster/

The other option is to unsolder and resolder on new surface mount LEDs into your current cluster. I can tell you the LEDs a very small and this is a job that would take alot of time and patience I am pretty good with electronics/soldering and I would be hesitant to try to swap out every LED in an older cluster.

These guys offer the service maybe? https://www.taninautoelectronix.com/product/2007-2013-toyota-tundra-instrument-cluster-led-upgrade/

I think you could also potentially look at Sequoia clusters. For the most part the Sequoia is a Tundra with a 3rd row seat and cargo hatch instead of a bed.

 

YES! Tanin was the one is was looking for!

Thanks

 

Tanin????
