Read the post I did yesterday. Buy some GEL bulb covers at autozone, around $2. Only need 1 pack and can put them on the LED's to even out the light. looks like there are a few lighter places in my pic, but is just the way the digital camera took the pic.

is there anything you can do about the red on the gauges? i cant see the red at night and by looking at your pic the red doesnt show up either.

where can i get some nice bright white bulbs? i dont want spots and i want to see the red on my gauges. its really annoying when i cant tell how close to empty my gas tank is at night.

anybody?

what color are the stock bulbs and are they available at any parts store?

AW/whiteZ-28

Stock ones are regular clear bulbs that come with the little twist in plastic holder, but you can put 194's in place and save yourself from a trip to the dealer.

scifone

what are 194's. is that a part number or what. sorry for the dumb question.

AW/whiteZ-28

size/part number

scifone

ok thanks. what brand are the bulbs or is that a standard number between manufactures?

AW/whiteZ-28

Same and if they add a different letter at the end it doesn't matter as long as it's the same color, clear.

the bulbs in the gauge are 194's but they sit on a different housing. the housing part indicates that you need to replace the entire housing. there must be another way to replace just the bulbs.. maybe with some leds.

In a 94 you will have to replace the whole housing but in the 97-02 you just replace the bulbs

AW/whiteZ-28

You can replace just the bulbs in 93-96, I did mine. Just take the bulb out it's soldered into the holder, you have to work it a little to get it out. Then pull the wires straight on the new bulb, slide it in and wrap the wire around the holder so it makes contact again and solder it back on. You don't really need to solder it but it would be better if you did.
