I dont have time to take my dash apart just to take a bulb somewhere.........I need to pickup the bulbs on the way home..and do it in one swoop.........dont have time to take it out...put it in, drive it...get the bulbs..take it out put it in. I prefer my projects not take that long.

you could read the FAQ's


but to save your time, 98-99 use "74" type bulb. they are really small.

Thats them...
I baught a blue bulb and a blue LED. I liked the LED much better, the color was better and it is brighter IMO. I also glued some tin-foil in the bulb housing to help reflect the light.


Heres the blue LED :




Sorry for HUGE picture


Heres what the blue LED looks like in my car:





The Blue key ring is very bright + the picture doesn't show it very good

I think it looks the best that it can, it matches my blue LED door lights and dome light.


Hope that Helps

74 is smaller that the bulbs in the gauges, they do fit but they wont be bright enough
