These are the new bulbs. They are red.

[image]

2 screws. Below the the top dome.

[image]

Yank out the front after removing the 2 screws.

[image]

This is how the dome looks like:

Another view.

[image]

Next 5 screws inside. 3 on top and 1 on each side.

[image]

Side screw:

[image]

The whole dome comes out:

This how it looks like:

[image]

Now you can lift the meters and turn it to the side.

[image]

Now you can access the bulbs holders behind the meters, locate them all together there should be 5 big bulbs.

[image]

The view behind the meters.

[image]

These are the locations of the bulb holders.

[image]

Do everything in reverse to put the whole thing back together.

Red effect speedometers!

umm daking alot of stores dont sell them u have to find them online... and either u have to buy leds or bulb covers like those pictured in this thread...and the odometer has a natural green glow to it. you can change the bulb cover and it will change the color slightly but itll still have a green tint to it...as for numbers u should take the guages off yourself and look

Blade...that link is dead...

I's also like to know what the bulb nubers are, especially if they are that easy to replace.

You want #74 bulbs for the vent controls and 194/168 for the speedo/tach.

I'll put this here so there's no need for the extra link.


Quote:
HVAC=
#74
LED bulbs without the holder(scroll to the bottom)
Instrument=
T3-1/4 (#194/168)

Click Here Scroll a little past half way down. Titled Single LED Wedge Base Bulbs(the 3 after that are the same bulb number but have more LEDs. Read the description though, the best ones look like WLED-x5 LED Wedge Base Bulbs but they also look kinda wide. I just went with the single LED because it emits a wide pattern and is as close to the OE bulb as possible(fitting wise).
