How many bulbs do you need to buy to change the cluster lights and is there any writeups for it?

you don't need to replace all of those, they're for the idiot lights and stuff. just for the regular lighting is 3 or 5 bulbs but i don't remember

edit- heres pics of regular bulbs compared to the leds

digital cluster is 6 bulbs (one is probably for the clock which you dont need idk but i see 6 my cluster is out infront of me) idk about the analog though. and yes there is a write-up shouldnt be hard to find if you search.

sorry all i had was a crappy cell phone pic but just like white comet u get the idea. its def way brighter, and my bulbs are piaa yellow 194's. Here it is on the car:

Old yellow 194's



and the led

I notice that in all the pics for dashes and exterior lights. The LEDs are not only brighter but they are also a much cleaner and sharper light. I myself hate dark spots.

I didn't even look at those. In white comets pics it goes from splotchy to my eyes are burning. Is the amber just not bright enough? Or is it just that the LEDs are not angled enought to provide 360 light?

Me too!It would be also helpful if someone could group the desired lighting packages together.1. Cluster2. turn signals 3. all of the above and the exact quantity/ bulb type.

Needle itself will always be red. But you can change the color it shines at night wit the import intelligence kit. I guess you could have custom needles made but I think the cost would be prohibitive. Unless someone else has seen colored needles for sale?

I think your was the one with the one color cluster.

I like it your color but want the needles to be red and i want to be able to see the redline.

I like it though, it looks nice.

Thanks. I've been looking into replacing the needles but other things have to come first....like ball joints, bushings and the like. I think green needles on the blue would be cool.

i think that they are a very reputable company. they gave me a hell of a deal when i bought all the bulbs for my tails. i got wide angle 30led red bulb 1156's for the brake lights, & the combination of those & my dmax tails are very bright, even if its the afternoon and the angle of the sun is directly on em.
