Also, does anyone know if the AC cluster uses the same bulbs? Im gonna do the same thing there as well.

actually i was wondering the same thing, i couldnt get the knobs off so im assuming that the cover around comes off, but if u have a haynes manual which i havent bought yet it should tell u but i think they use smaller ones something like 86 or 92 along the line

Hmm okay, when I dig into my dash I'll let you know what I find. For some reason I have a hunch its the same bulbs, just uses less.

AC bulbs are 74, just like the ones for the odo light and ashtray, with the blue "condom"....

so i buy 5 bulbs... and i then find out that my car, 94, needs 4.... i put them today during the day and i just went out for a ride and it sucks. I mean in the middle, from 70mph to 140 its white. When i put it on D, the green square doesnt appear... lol.. how gheto. any ideas? anyone know what is the reference for the little bulbs? Anyone with 7g's have any info?

I haven't looked at the back of my cluster in a while but this tutorial is 8G. I believe 7G needs 94 bulbs[x4?] and 1774 bulbs [x2?]. Im not 100% on the quantity but I do know its 2 different size bulbs needed or else you'll have a mix of the bulbs you put in + the stock halogens bulbs.

I just did this with the same bulbs Voratec used, but I used red ones. Very slick.

It's a bad picture. There is a bit of a dead spot on the right side, but it's not nearly as bad as the picture makes it out to be.

**spdracr** · 05-02-2008, 12:00 PM

yeah this I'd why I haven't done it yet since I really want this to be fully lit and no dead spots at all

anyone know if there are there yellow LEDs

**Rambo819** · 06-17-2008, 10:52 PM

Will these work or are they too tall?

**Jeffylou87** · 06-17-2008, 10:55 PM

They make LED's in any color.. Just search 194 LED on ebay..

Ask the dude for measurements..

**Rambo819** · 06-18-2008, 09:45 PM

I didn't know if anyone knew how deep the light socket is in the gauge cluster itself

I too skimped on the price when i ordered my LED bulbs from Auto Illumination, and they were not nearly as bright as they shouldve been. I had to order 3 more bulbs that were slightly brighter but nowhere near as the ones Voratec has.

Thats what Voratec ordered.

Thats what i first ordered and they were not bright at all.

Heres what i ordered the second time. I ordered 3 of these. And it aint bright the way id like them to be. Ill be ordering brighter bulbs soon.

Heres a pic of mines now. As you can see, there nowhere near as bright as Voratecs.

Which blue ones did you order to get it to look like that?
