So tonight one of the bulbs behind my guages went out and I have a few questions. What type bulb do I replace it with? I did some research and think it is a Type 194 but I'm not positive. Also if I want to upgrade to indiglo guages do I still need to get a new bulb or do they use a differnet type of lighting/bulb?

with LED bulbs you might have to switch around the bulb if it doesn't turn on. you might have to do this a few times for the 3 bulbs so I suggest you just plug in the left blue harness when testing instead of plugging in all three, it becomes a hassle. But even with regular colored bulbs, they have dark spots no matter what but I think LEDs have more of this problem than reg bulbs. On another forum, I saw that they sand down the LED bulb all the way down to its filament (not sure what LEDs) are called, but this is to show more light. Do not get 1 directional LEDs, get the LEDs that look like regular bulbs so the light spreads out. If you get the ones that point in one direction, then you will have a darkspot problem.
