| Np haha, but they look a bit different to me. But I kinda suck with the lighting and stuff, so I'll let Chris provide input | |

| I'm right here, trying to post a long write up !! jeez haha. You are trying to get the gauge numbers to light up blue? Yeah you need 194 as Aaron said. You need these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10X-Blue-T10-8SMD-3020-1210-3528-194-168-Car-LED-SMD-Indicator-Light-Lamp-Bulb-/160842629044?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2572f7bfb4 that should do it lol. But those will light up the gauges perfectly uniformly and very bright! Plus, you'll have many extras for when they burn out lol (because they will). But you need LEDs like this, because they are very short and they have a 180-degree wide beam, so it won't look spotty. Here's mine.... note that this is with 5-LED bulbs, the ones above are 8-LED so should be brighter. And mine were daylight-visible. As for the climate control, I haven't found a PNP LED solution for it. The way it works is there is a clear plastic diffuser that goes tightly around the bulb, so unless it's shaped like the bulb perfectly (or smaller) it won't fit. And the light has to come out 360-degree, not just out the front or a spot. You can try one of those 8-LED bulbs you'll have, and see what happens and go from there. The ashtray (and cig lighter) are built-in bulbs, they are not changeable. I used custom made LEDs on mine (circled in red here) However, the blue 194 LEDs above will fit the automatic shifter light!! I hope this was helpful and I've lived up to my reputation lol | |

Ill try to get some pictures tommorow. As for the dash thats a great help as the bulbs u showed me on ebay are great, the ones I got are single leds and arnt very bright. so i will take ur advise | |

Yeah, like I said, you'll need better LEDs to light it all up even and bright! Post pics... before and after! | |

Yeah, I might have been able to change mine, but it wasn't a regular bulb type that could be replaced with LED. Maybe it's different on yours. - knite wrote:

also there are 2 different sizes that go in back of the dials what the number for the smaller bulbs? Yes, you can see one of your has already failed! The smaller bulbs are #74, at least on my cluster. Hopefully these will match http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-x-Car-Vehicle-1-5050-SMD-LED-74-T5-Wedge-Bulb-License-Dashboard-Light-Blue-/320759135056?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aaebbfb50 - MirrorEyes wrote:

Easy! You only have to remove half of the interior lol. The panel under the steering wheel, glove box, panel around the shifter, panel between the seats. At least that's what I did, IIRC. | |

| You can use a "snake" LED for those locations, IE a regular LED with wires on it, no base. Just wire it in and glue it on. | |
