install led bulbs also - they will really light up the dash.

You'll be able to buy bags of T10 wedge LED's from ebay at uber-cheap prices. Swap all of them - backlight and warning globes. They are polarity sensitive but if you follow the circuit grids on the back of the instrument cluster you'll be able to figure out what way to put them all in and even if you get it wrong, it won't blow them. You'll need a ballast resistor for the dimmer function to work properly. Most of the retail parts shops charge a lot for them pre packaged and in really small quantities (like a blister pack of 2). Worth waiting for them in the mail...

I got a bag full of these for almost nothing. They are nice because they don't get hot like the incandescent bulbs that were in the vehicles. These are LED 194 also. Probably last for hundreds of years no doubt, lol.
