this might b a dumb question but here it goes how do u guys remove the light bulbs that are used for the idiot lights inside the dash? i cant fit my fingers in between the walls enough to get a good grip and pull out
 
needle nose pliers should do the trick, just take it easy on amout of hand power you use. Might even try putting some type of cushion on both tips as well. vac line caps should work well, but I get away with just using the pliers as is.
 
vac caps good idea! i will try that i didnt try needle nose pliers just regular pliers and it would just slip couldnt get grip and when i did apply alittle more force i just broke it heres my other concern the brake light bulb which is the 2nd bulb down on the right column is bigger than all the rest of my bulbs would u happen to know if thats the way it should be ? are all ur bulbs the same size? heres a pic of what im talking about the bulb clearly is bigger

just checked my own dash, I have smaller sized blubs. Looks like somebody just figured out a bigger size blub same type wedge. Just get smaller blubs, I went LED myself. Cheaper and I like the look. (white LED)
 
thanx for taking the time to check so what kind of white led bulbs did u use ? i seen different part numbers with different watts
 
The 194s are for the dash, Should be the same as the Idiot blubs. I believe the LED flasher is only needed when getting brake/tail/signal LEDs. So your stock flasher should be fine.

You can get the LED bulbs anywhere, autozone, advance.
just take your old blub to match up, but I'm sure it's a 194 blub tho. You can't dim LEDs, only problem. WHy would you want to? Just if ever:cool:

I got mine off Ebay, type in x10 LED or so, come in amber, red, white. I plan to go back to STock style tho, yep after all that. Somethings just need to remain the same.
 
thanx alot man im just going to stick to that factory look for now just wanted to make sure on that 194 p/n
