Starting mine too, but I don't know what bulb number goes in the footwells of our car, and the dome light. According to the Sylvania bulb selector website, that should be a 194 bulb but when I pried the cover off I see a long narrow bulb (2040 I'm assuming), and the 2 map bulbs are fat round bulbs, not at all like a 168/194. I have a whole bunch of 4 and 6 LED bulbs waiting to go in

Anyone know what size bulbs I need for these 2 areas? 92 sc3 btw

Yes the switches come off by prying on the sides. The Window lock button just pulls off. The main drivers side switch is a ***** to get off. It was very difficult. I ended up dremeling the sides of the switch off so that I could get to the main mounting point to pry it off. Its okay as you don't see the sides of the switch once they are installed in the door. It wasn't fun getting that main switch off. I was scared of breaking something. Lukily it finally came off after some hard prying.

I used a small flathead screwdriver. I wish now that I would have taken pictures of the process. But it was 4am and I was working as a zombie. haha.

Thanks guys!

And Fred Smith,
When you see it in real life, it looks like the third picture. It is hard to get the poper look on camera. There is a slight dim spot at the 4 on the tachometer. Also I could use a little better lighting on the fuel gauge. But I am very happy with the cluster for my first try at it.

heres some pics of my current work. i have real unsteady hands and im terrible with taking pics so just bear with me


im probably going to splice another one in there as well. however i think it looks real good when its pitch black out.


i never knew there was a light in the drivers side foot well, but since i found i i changed it out anyway, its not bright at all but i really how dim it is, not to obtrusive to the eyes.


the light in the glove box was hard as hell to get out, sorry for the blurry pics once again.

i also took a pic of the one in the trunk but its WAY to dim, so im going to add more leds to that one. now im just waiting for the rest of the leds to come in the mail so i can finish my project.

Looking good!. like i say, you will need to back those led's down or they will be dead in a week. I can fire a needle bright enough to light up the back window, but it would need to be rebuilt every 5 days been there, done that

Hope you get it the way you want it, and my tips help that i pm'ed you.
