Eh, I don't really care how long they take. I have some basic 194's in there now and they look fine and I can actually see my tach now after like 3 months of neglecting it. I just want white. I can wait.

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.


Thanks man. I'll probably have to go that route eventually, but I really don't have $25 to spend on 3 teeny bulbs right this second, I have other things to worry about. I'll get them when I've got some $$ to toss around.
