Default Neeeed help with gauge lights

I am trying to change my gauge lights to blue or white. I'm trying to figure out how to take out the bulbs to the 3 194 lights to replace them. I don't want to just rip them out there has to be an easier way. please help. thank you.

You take out the gauge cluster and the three bulbs are in the back. You just twist them a little and they come right out.

2 screws on top of the bezel remove that peice, then 3 screws on the left, right, and top of the actual gauge cluster, then pull that out, and on the back are 3 big black things, twist em a lil and theyll come out, plop the bulbs in there.

Do what they said. But make sure you get LEDs! I got some 3$ bulbs from Auto Zone made by Blazer and they were horrible! It had to be pitch black to tell they were blue. They looked teal most of the time.

I had a guy find me some LEDs. They werent the exact ones I wanted but im satisfied. He actually ended up finding them at O'Reily. I think they were made by Azure or something like that...

Anyway, good luck man! Its not a big job at all. I dont even know if I would call it a job at all! Post some pics when you get them done.

ive said a million times im very dissatisfied with superbrightleds.com ive had 2 of their bulbs fail on me, but anyone else here will tell you theyve had no problems.

currently im using colored incandescents from http://www.autolumination.com and they work beautifully. havnt failed on me yet, and theyre cheaper than the leds. the LEDS i got were the 5-wide and they still had a bad pattern, and they werent any brigher than my incandescents.

and to the guy above me, no matter what bulb you use, blue light isnt going to come out well. its just not a very visible color. thats why colors like white, amber, red, and green are used so commonly. blue and purple will hardly ever look good. im using amber and i think its the best my gauges have ever looked.

Thanks a lot guys. I put in blue LED's and they look pretty sick but the needles are still pretty dark. Does anyone know the number size of those and are they just as easy as the 194s? I want to make them orange or red to stand out. also the redline on the RPMS i want to make those red. Thanks again!
