Default malfunction light

I was just wondering if some one new what type of bulbs to use for the malfunction light, skip shift light and the other lights for the instrument cluster. If they were being powered from the PCM to ground. Any help would greatly be appreciated to help finish my dash off.

Use 12V LED's... Are you actually going to use the skip shift????? It can be bypassed easily with a resistor. The only one I used was the SES

I was wondering if there was any certain resistance to use with them. The reason I'm going with the skip shift is because I don't have edit yet but when I do I'll turn it off.

I believe the resistor is taken care of in the PCM circuitry. To be safe, you can add another one in series with the LED. Worst case, you fry the LED without the needed resistor.

As for the skip shift. I do not have edit yet either, but I am planning on removing the solenoid connector and installing a resistor to keep the PCM happy. No edit required.
