bulbs i think are 194 they are the exact same bulbs as your door lights. Just unscrew the two screws holding the plastic thing and you'll see what they look like.
It's kind of PITA to get to the clusters but it's doable. Just look at what you need to take off and find the bolts/screws to undo them. Keep track of them as you may end up with umteen of them.
bulbs are 194, like mentioned above. you'll need 4 of them for the gauge cluster. the clusters isn't that bad to remove, just a lot of steps to get to it. check out craig brace's website on a how-to on removing the dash. www.geocities.com/craigbrace
i have some 'xenon' ones i got from cardomain. nice output and goes well against the white gauge.

Those are Xenon's??? I thought they were from Kragen. Do you have a link on CarDomain where I can get those exact bulbs??? I remeber you posting this pic on another thread I started. Ha Ha, NICE GAUGES MAN!
nice Fosgate Fan how much did u pay for those bulbs??? wasn't there someone on here with the needles in red and the gauges in another color or was it you. im still tryin' to get ahold of these bulbs but can't i get them at a local performance shop??? again very nice man.

i found some hyper whites at autozone but they werent' much whiter than the bulbs that are already in there. it wasnt a 15 dollar difference so i took them back. also do the stock guage bulbs have blue caps on them because mine had the blue caps that you put on a clear bulb to make it that color. im tryin to get that lexus luxury look if possible.

is it better to get the xeons or just the regular replacement 194 bulbs... well what i mean is it worth the extra $5 for some kinda outstanding quaility difference? cuz i'm looking into getting blue ones from here -> http://www.cardomain.com/item/EUR19480 and was wondering if i should consider dis -> http://www.cardomain.com/item/EUR194 ?

-if ur lookin for brightness find the LED with the defused bulb, they spread the light very well and really light everything up, someone here has them and they looked really cool!..
-if u get the normal LED bulb and put the behind the guages you will get hot spots and it will look really bad.
-as for the install... i could do it in 5 min. super easy.
-if u want the normal 194 colored bulb then i recommend getting "auto bulbs" sold in stores, in a yellow box,(they look like cheap colored bulbs but they havent faded at all) all other brands tend to fade very quickly..
