These are the SuperBrightLEDs 5-LED bulbs in the cluster. Like I said before, the needles are just as bright as they are stock. The only two things you won't see anymore are the parts that are tinted red (ie. upper temperature range, lower fuel range, and RPM redline). Blue can't show through red tint. Still looks great in my opinion.

$2.99 + $.75 for Blue. Definitely check them out. Great quality and they're even non-polarized just like the regular incandescent bulbs. Put 'em in and go! If you'd like more information, read my review:

what are the chances of these bulbs blowing faster? it would be a bitch to get all that done and after a few months have a few bulbs out

LEDs don't blow out. Unless you wire something wrong, but with the plug-n-play dash ones, you shouldn't have any problems. Should last last ya' at least 5-10 years... You should be good.

Yup. Go to superbrightleds.com > 12V car bulbs > mini wedge bulbs. As soon as you click on "Buy Now" for any of them, the whole list of prices comes up.

i just finished changing the 3 bulbs over to blue 194 wedge base leds. Let me tell ya, it was Not easy. I had to take the wedge bases off of the bulbs i had, take out the old bulbs.. and hold the grey bulb holder part in place, and thread the prongs of the led thru the grey holder part from the front( leds were too thick to push thru) so you have to do it the hard way. anyways, you need to bend the leds prongs around the grey plug, like they were originally, and finally, figure out which way gives the proper polarity. Once you do this, use a flathead screwdriver to lock in the grey bulb holder, its pretty tricky, and its hard for me to explain, this seems to makes sense to me after reading it, but if you need me to take some pictures or give you more detail.. just pm me.. hope this helps

How do you pull apart the dash to get to the cluster?
