Hi, guys.

Bulbs in the analog clock (03 M45) are gone in this morning even though I replaced the bulbs about 3 month ago. Since a single bulb price is $17, it costs me $34 for only 2 bulbs. When I had a similar issue on my acura CL, I used to buy bulbs from Radioshack. So I was wondering if I can use any general bulb for the replacement.


Thanks.

Hmmm... I just noticed mine is out but it'll be the first time replacing it. I haven't even gotten down to how to do it yet. What kind of bulb is it?

I got two LED bulbs from here.

-NEO 3, 3mm (T-1)

However I did some DIY. Since the LED boot was smaller than OEM one, it couldn't be directly replaced. I took OEM bulb out from the boot and then replaced LED bulb. It took me only 10 minutes.

Here is picture.
