Hey, were these also inverted or regular bulbs?
Oh yeah, one more thing. Did they have that green condom on them? I am kind of pissed, I messed up on my climate control a bit, and discovered I could have just changed the condom thingies to red, and just pulled off the green ones. Anyhow, how many lights behind the gauge? This post has been edited by Random_Stranger: Apr 11, 2007 - 5:08 AM -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

I was about to ask that but was afraid to look dumb. Oh well, I guess it is no secret now. LOL Lemme know ya? In here or PM me. If anyone knows off the top of their head. Is there a detail on how to install reverse glow (I am sure there is, nevermind)? I figure there is, but kind of in the middle of something right now.

im in North Carolina. and advanced auto is a national chain so far as i know but im not quite sure. and yeah its the 194s but i dont think they are LEDs they are just normal bulbs. and if you guys want ill buy them and send them to you at cost if you guys are willing to pay shipping and stuff.
