I think I found something that will plug into the original spot for the switch and button lights. The measurements are the same just from looking at the ones I've taken out...

What do you guys think? I bought some a week ago and it should be here today.

Yea I remember those. This isn't custom work though, it's an easy solution that anyone can buy.

Cool. If those work, I'll definitely be buying some as I've got quite a few lights out. Are you reusing your bulb condoms or did you buy some more?

The second thread has some plug-n-play solutions. I think they should work.

Sometimes you need protection

if you mean in the light switches and and instrument panel be prepared to return them. I have a 95 and I purchased the same lights and thought they would work and I just sent them back the other day. I wanted a simple plug n play light and these were way too big. Maybe they will fit on the 90-93 model though. I have read that with modification they could work though. What I ended up doing was going to Radio Shack and purchasing the 12volt bulbs and replaced the blown out bulbs after I removed the rubber shroud (condom ) and it gave the lights a brighter orangish hue that is really elegant.

I know that the bulbs are at Radio Shack but where do you find the bulb condoms?

Some of mine tore when they were removed.
