Disconnecting the dimmer switch is self-explanatory when you pull the plastic bezel off. $7.99/bulb isn't bad for good LED's. In my experience, and other members can back this up, cheap LED's in your dash won't last. They'll start flickering and eventually burn out after a couple of months. As for a regular bulb that will get you a white light- tough luck. Those will get you a pale yellow. You have to buy white LED's.
