the other day one of the lights behind my spedometer burnt out so I'm just going to change the color of them while I'm back there. Now i know there's a how to in the stickies, but it really didn't make any sense to me. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

For speedo, tach and both gauges on the right (water temp and fuel gauge) you need three 194 LEDs. When you pull the cluster out and look at the back side you will see three (usually) green plastic twistie-thingies (can't tell what they are called, sockets maybe) two located in the center and one on the right edge just by the mounting screw hole - these are your bulbs. If you have original cluster there is most likely writing on them saying TOSHIBA V-2. You just simply twist them counterclockwise and pull them out of the cluster. The bulbs are just slotted in. Pull them out and replace them.
On a side note: you will be better off getting 4 LED 194s or even better 194 called refractors (they are 5 LEDs angled LEDS) Something like here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...T&viewitem= This post has been edited by conus00: May 11, 2009 - 6:17 PM -------------------- '94 ST |
