Left part of my cluster started flickering and it looks like something is going on with one of the bulbs, the previous owner did a cluster swap for the se one and i guess he changed the bulbs because they backround is not white anymore, i would like to go back to the white look of the cluster, my question is how many bulbs will i need and where can i get them ? besides nissan !8$ each

Just get some white 194 LED bulbs off eBay. Your gonna need a total of 5.

i read some place that the original bulbs have some blue covers on them is that true ? if its a regular 194 bulb why is it 18$ at nissan

Yes they do have light blue slip on covers that make the bulbs appear white. Without those covers they are a yellowish sort of color.

They're just your average 194 bulbs, nothing special. Why they cost so much at the dealer?

honestly i would just try n get some wide angled white 194 leds. they will look much better and u wont have to worry about the bulb condoms.

The needles dont have their own lights, and you'll see the bulbs for the cluster once you have it out. you have a 99? dont 99's have type 74 bulbs? theyre smaller than 194s.. you can swap in 194s but it requires some work.

#74 is used in the idiot lights

While that is correct it does not answer his question. the idiot lights are 74s, which work in the 98-99 clusters, where as 194s wont. Its been a while since i changed out my cluster lights and i don't remember what size bulbs i used, either 74 or 24, which i think is the actual size but its hard to find. The 74's are a hair smaller and might not illuminate as bright... but they'll work fine...
