Finally changed my backlighting bulbs
Hey guys new guy here. I replaced my tired old backlighting bulbs. They look stock. Got the bulbs from napa. They are brighter and more crisp now. Replacement wasnt hard at all. The search button was my friend. I ended up getting 8 #24 bulbs. Now I have to fix my needles.

That path isn't going to work. At least you don't keep your car pictures in a **** folder.
You need to upload the file to a web host like photobucket.com or something like that, then link from there.

Actually I only replaced the speedometer needle, I bought it used off ebay, when I first start the sc the needle is fine for the first 30 seconds then it starts to flicker. I emailed the seller he said he would send me another one.

If you replace your needles, you might as well do the backlighting while your in there. 8 bulbs cost me $11.00. BTW is your pillar chromed out. Mine was and I just blacked it out the other day

holy snikey 100 bucks for needles.get some white reflective adhesive backing tape. cover the needles and make your backlights blue led. then the needles will glow.lol that price is outrageous... i am new here too but when i mentioned buying products from lextech someone sent me a pm saying some really nasty stuff about lextech. not that i am bashing lextech or anything because i am sure what he does is tedious. and everybody gets a pissed off customer now and then. but for the prices he asks he should warranty the work.jmho strange but my cluster is about the only electronic part in my sc that has no problem. though it is ugly lighting. i am looking into fixing that soon.
