Gauge Bulbs
Does anyone know where you can get a suitable aftermarket replacement for the bulbs that light up the gauge cluster? They look like smaller wedge bulbs, and I was hoping to find some hyperwhite kind of deal. Any info and help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

BTW...the gauge assembly is easy to remove. A total of 8 screws and disconnecting some wire harnesses.

I didn't know it was that easy to get to it. I'll let you know this weekend when I open it up and look for myself. If you do find out, please post the bulb size.
P.S. check out this guy's guages and other blues. Very impressive:

Yo listen up: here's a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is
Just blue like him inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue-lit Maxima and everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
'Cause he aint got nobody to listen: ...
I'm blue da ba dee....

I found that link on a fourm somewhere a few days ago or so. Most of the upgrades are done soldering new LED's that you can buy from radioshack. He said it was a 3 day project, but I'm worried about soldering myself. If I do change the bulbs, I will try to do a writeup.

Well the Radioshack by my house didn't have the bulbs. I'm going to try the one by my work, they have more of a selection. I am crossing my fingers on this one....if I can't find them there I might just order some W2 and see if they fit. Other than that...SOL
I don't know about the ignition light, I'd have to look into it.

Also, depending on the surrounding material the color can change. I have the blue LED wedge bulbs in the door and they look like a light blue (because of surrounding white) in my friends Accord they are more of a deep blue in his doors.

Does anyone know the actual name/size of this bulb?
I would like to search around and see who makes and/or who carries these.
I actually took one out and went to a few places to get some info, but had absolutely no luck. Nobody could even tell me what type of bulb it is!!!

I went to my Nissan Service Dept. a while back and got their codes for the bulbs. In the "Instrument Meter & Gauge" section, there are two types of bulbs, one is 14V-1.4W it's code No. is 24860P....the other type is 14V-3W it's code No. is 24860PA. I also got some info for the control unit....looks like the AC unit. For that section, it also looks like there are two different bulbs. One seems to be a 27545MA, and the other 27545M.
