Since I bought my 01 SE back in April of 07 my tripometer guage has not been lighting up off and on, but now none of the guages light up (including my tac and speedometer) they come on randomly but it is very rare. Has anyone ever had this problem and been able to fix it?

 

It sounds like a loose connection. I would pull the gauge cluster out and check the connections. Make sure when you re-install they are all tight.

If you do this and its still happening I would look at replacing the bulbs behind the cluster. I'm probably going to be replacing mine because the light output is getting pretty low. It is a simple procedure, but I think the bulbs may be a bit expensive...not sure though.

 

where can one purchase these bulbs from........ because the bulb that lights up my engine temp, and RPM's finally died out on me and i need to replace it

what number are they....i could have sworn that i read somewhere it was 194??? IM SURE IM WRONG THOUGH

 

#74

 

I USED #2723 sylvania's

lol, i also found the bulb number right at the bottom of the socket you put the bulb into......the 2723 seem brighter to me, maybe its because i had a pick of the cheaper bulbs and then the 2723's

the bulbs i got are 13.4v, and operate at 2.3 watts....

Would any one know if getting the #74 white LED's would be better or to just stick with these "soft white" bulbs

 

ya get the white leds from autolumination.. they are way cheap and so is shipping.. I put them in the analog clock of my I30.. looks SICK

 

^^YOUVE SOLD ME, lol

I just ordered 4 of those 4.99 white LED's!

thanx for the input

 

Here is how they look in my clock

 

WOW THAT LOOKS DAMNED GOOD........

*awaiting my white LED's anxiously*
