Final verdict on Instrument Cluster bulbs?

[sensoryx]

Can someone please finalize the bulbs needed to swap out the stock ones? A few of mine are burnt out.

Please list out the different bulb sizes and number of bulbs needed for the whole IC.

Thanks

scroll down to part #17057 the bulbs with the green base. you need 3 of these (miles, temp, and clock). they make the bulb in LED or regular style.


then go to pepboys and buy 2 (super bright hyper white 194 miniature bulbs) made by american auto accessories. these light up the main display.

(Edit: Sorry, I thought the question related to identifying the stock bulb part numbers).

for anyone who's interested i used 194 5LED bulbs to replace the two background bulbs on the cluster and one of the green base single leds behind the temp gauge and removed the white base near the tach and it looks awesome, from here:

disconnect negative, take off airbag (torx t-20 i used those pocket ones from pepboys, they do have a special socket tho), take off steering wheel, use tools to pull cluster out, disconnect the electrical connectors behind it (2). like this article minus the speedo cable

or you can disconnect negative, take off airbag, take off steering wheel, take off knee bolster cover and push gauges out from underneath. either way its easy
