So the gauge cluster itself would be easy enough to change to a different color. How many of them are there back there? I take it that the lights behind the A/C panel are LEDs? Did you have to solder those on, Javi?. Yes, they were already soder from the factory, just replaced them with blue ones. so what your saying is you just bought regular bulbs that were blue for the back of your dash? and not use LED's? Yes. This are the exact ones that I used. www.automotivelightingusa.com/mini-bulbs/194/polarg-b1-hybrid-blue-194

For those interested in the gauge cluster lighting mod, here is what the back of the cluster looks like: I would think the ones you need to remove are the green pc socket ones.

Javi, can you confirm this? Would you need to remove the white topped ones as well?

Just dawned on me for some reason, I think the top white ones are the turn/hazard lights. Might as well change all of them. They could perhaps be a different number bulb? The others ones on left/right respectively are seat belt warning and battery and oil warning IIRC. What is the other one without going and flipping the key on? haha
EDIT: Cruise Control I believe, have not used it in awhile so might be wrong...

Cruise is in the black light bar above the gauges. It's in there along with Traction off, Traction active, Check engine, Airbag... etc.

Haha yes you are right. Finally got it figured out, it is the Parking brake warning indicator. The other one up top is High beam Indicator.

was it a pain to get the cluster out? never done it before, on any vehicle, and kinda scared to screw something up with the gauges..

PMs are fine but just remember, it is in the code of conduct that if the info would be useful to everyone it would be wise to share it in a thread! If you're simply answering a question it might not seem like much but someone else could come along later and have the very same question.

Javi, can you confirm this? Would you need to remove the white topped ones as well? You just need to remove the green ones, that's for the gauges alone. The white ones are for the warning lights.

Are those interior bulbs interchangeable? I want to order 10*194 bulbs to replace all the burnt bulbs in my car.

Welcome to ... THE THREAD THAT WOULDN'T DIE!!
Backup lights ... what's the biggest baddest bulb anyone's jammed into a classic that can burn a hole in a 2x4 at 100 paces yet not melt the sockets? I want a LOT of light back there for my country driveway ...
Reason I ask, I see some 2057 LED replacements rated up to 80 watts. Those sound like they might be a bit much for the circuit?
