Changing Led For Gauge - cowymo - 03-05-2005
I have read the following how-to

Just wondering what model or what kind of LEDs are behind the guage?
If I were to get new LEDs to replace the stock green LEDs, what is the part number I should be looking at?

Sorry bro. Changing the bulbs behind the cluster won't do jack s**t. Don't ask why, this has been asked before.
It just doesn't work.

Zoom's right, you need a complete gauge face replacement I believe.

When it comes to lights, I've ripped apart every bulb in our cars. I can tell you each bulb size:
Dome light: 39mm festoon bulb (LED is available, I got em ;) )
Map lights: BS9's (LED is available, I got em ;) )
Rear hatch licence plate lights (LED is available, I got em ;) 37
HVAC controls: 74 (LED is available, I got em ;) )
HID high beams: H1's
Driving light: 194
Frosted turn signals: 3674 (same as brake lights)

I have changed my map lights and dome lights into white bulbs. They are super. Just like having a fluorescent lamp in the car when u open the doors and truck at night. Super sweet.
