Here is a link to the exact bulbs I ordered for my guage cluster. LINK

Otherwise these guys bulbs are supposed to be good, but cost a bunch more LINK

Otherwise here are some white ones from the first link.


Hope this helps.

Actually, looking back at some pics... Maybe some of the LED's just stopped working... The right and left edges of my guages cluster are kinda dimmed... barely any light at all, lol.

And it used to look like this:

I am guessing you have a couple loose or that are just barely getting any power. Try tightening them up, otherwise I would replace them. Mine still look good and I have had them running for a couple months now.

How many bulbs do you need to replace all the gauge lights?
4X4 switch?
HVAC Panel?
Window Switch?
Wiper Switch?


Thanks
Brian

For the HVAC panel, I believe it's 4.

For the rest, you're going to have to use loose LED's and glue them in place.
