I have a 96 240sx, climate lights are burnt out, and whilr the interior is still pulled apart from the 5 speed conversion I wanna go ahead and replace the climate lights.. ive looked around and every guide has broken pictures and doesnt list the bulb #'s.

Can you guys help me out on how to put leds in the gauge cluster, climate control, andome light? Also list led # and where to get it?

The pictures are working fine for me. Make sure you don't have an ad blocker stopping them from loading. As for the part number, the author lists them atthe top under equipment needed.

That takes care of a good amount of the switches. Thanks for the info. Now I need a link or whatever for the climate control ones. The fan numbers, stick people, the green light when you have air on, the hot and cold bars.

Look, we've shown you where to look, which your immediate response was "I looked and saw nothing", yet I'm linking you articles on how to do what you want to do from the library we originally pointed you towards.

That's the last set I'm gonna link you. You can find anything else you need from there or our service manual library.

Ive gotten everything done except the gauges and the climate control box.. gonna wait until a later date to do the gauges.. but im stuck on the climate box.. got it taken apart to where I can see the fan bulb, and I can see the backs of the other two bulbs.. the pictures dont pull up on my phone or a brand new laptop.. so not sure how to remove the bulbs, the green board doesnt budge.(yes I removed the fan knob and pieces connected to it)

Typically, they should just rotate and pop out. Remove the brown board as I believe the green board is mounted pretty solidly to the brown board (the green board houses an amplifier IIRC).

-By this image you can see that he left the two connected.

-You can see all three bulbs pretty easy here.

I'm not finding many pictures to show you what to do unfortunately, and it looks like some of our pictures on the article I linked have decided to stop working. Hopefully, my bit of insight helps.

Ok, I will try again. Hopefully nothing breaks. (I was trying to pry it all out with a screwdriver)

Ok so I got all the interior bulbs replaced except the dome light and gauge cluster lights.

heres what I found for the gauges, and dome light would be a 31mm festoon? Please let me know if the list below is correct. I plan to order from superbrightleds. com... Will most likely get the cool white color. Would the "uv or blacklight" be good for the gauges or no?

3 For Main Gauges:

2 for Gas and Battery Gauges:

Just finished putting the led dome light in, piece of cake. Simple remove old bulb and insert new.. got 3 of the 6 gauge bulbs in.. dont know how the other 3 need to go.. cant find a picture guide for the s14 bulbs. Anyone know where the clock bulb, gas and brattery bulbs are located? Picture?
Gauge cluster isnt as bright as it looks.
