but remove the cluster, turn the bulb pull it out, if its wedge, buy wedge leds done.
dont think its that easy. otherwise there wouldnt be so many write-ups and how-tos on the project. anyone can swap a bulb, but theres more to it than that.Originally Posted by TomZ
that too^but remove the cluster, turn the bulb pull it out, if its wedge, buy wedge leds done.

its a standard T10 wedge bulb, replaced with T10 wedged leds with built in 12v resistors in its base.

does each individual bulb light the gauge face AND needle?? if so thats prob why theres diff ways of wiring it. ill totally do this if i can keep my needles red. i didnt realize it was this easy. ive heard stories about the bulbs being different, and the led replacements all being junk.Originally Posted by TomZ

This is a REALLY EASY MOD
remove cluster

turn and pull the bulbs out

awesome. i cant wait to do these. i was ready to take it all apart and solder in leds like i did my window switches, but this seems much easier. so these will work in my 98?
