A break down of the full numbers for certian years would be nice (I have an 01), I did my gauge cluster yesterday(I used 8 blue WLED-x-x LED bulb 120deg, not as bright as I was thinking), but the dimmer LED was too big (1 NEOx-R 3mm blue, for a 92-97<.....now that I look back in the thread)....also any one have issues with the HVAC bulbs?, does the whole thing pull out?, or do you grab/crush the bulb with needlenose to get it out?....

You HAVE to get rid of the stock overlay and go with something else, i.e. 6LE stuff. The stock overlay has a red film which makes the light sine through red, the bulbs are not red. Now with the 6LE overlays i went with all red LED's, a blue one for the high beam and 2 green ones for the turn signals. I'll get some pics up soon, only thing i did with my 6LE overlay was trim it around the edges to keep it from bunching up.

2 74-xHP3 Wedge Base LED bulb for the HVAC and 5-7 WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED in your choice of color..and if you do the head light switch you need 1 3mm NeoWedge Instrument led and you can get these at super bright leds .com....
