I was was thinking that the instrument panel would look pretty cool if it was red instead of that light green. I just don't know what kind of bulb I would need and I also don't know how hard it would be to get to them. I want to change all the lights on the panel and later change the accessorys. Also if you know a company that specializes or sells kits for the s13, fill me in. Thanks.

very easy to do

1.) take the bezel thats in front of the cluster off 2.) take the 3 screws that hold the cluster in 3.) unplug the 3 plugs to take the cluster off 4.) take the lights off and go to the auto parts to get the bulbs..

That does sound easy, this is why I love 240's, they just seem so simple compared to all my freinds cars. Thanks alot man. By the way, would you happen to know how many bulbs there are?

get 6 bulbs when you go to the store/order them. they should come in packs of 2. its nowhere near as easy as other cars like civics/integras. to remove the bezel you will need to remove the kickpanel and drop the lower cover under the wheel, remove 2 nuts and 2 bolts supporting the steering column to drop it low enough to remove the bezel, then remove the screws holding the bezel itself with a short driver.

they have gauge lights as well as tons of other cool gauge/cluster accessories. i'm planning on getting a few things from them when it comes time to do the HUD swap.
