2G How do I change the dash lights?

I did researching and I found a forum post but I don't know how many leds I need to buy to change the color?

on mitchell1 pro demand its only showing 3 bulbs but your best source is to pull your gauge cluster out and confirm exactly how many bulbs you do have.

I can see where your question came from only looking at that thread. Check out the threads I linked for more specfic information.

Alright gsxjon will do it wouldnt be a bad idea to overstock would it?
2gmitsueclipse: I will look at them thanks for the information.

that's your personal preference if you want to, but the issues with gauge cluster lights burning out are next to none unless you have a grounding issue or you do strictly more night driving than day driving.

The t5 led wedge bulbs on amazon for a ten pack are the best I have found. It's $8 free shipping for ten of them

Replacing the bulbs with other wedge based LEDs will net terrible results. I have done it myself and pointed out to others who consider it or have performed the swap why the bulb swap results in poor performance.

If you only swap the bulbs for wedge based LEDs, a fair majority of your cluster will lack luminosity. You will have very bright spots and very dim sports. For instance, the 65mph range has a bulb under it (IIRC) that will appear very vibrantly lit. However, the cluster lacks bulb placement around the 7k+ portion of the tachometer (IIRC) and will appear more dim then if you had just left the factory incandescent bulbs in place.

LED "bulbs" do not light our clusters evenly. To get proper and even illumination, you will want to remove the gauge faces and sand their backing. Running an rope style LED strip through out the circumference of cluster's interior will take some "customization" (read: breaking/cutting) of the cluster, but will provide significantly more luminosity and even-ness of the light output through the gauge faces.

I believe you need 11 bulbs for the cluster
