Looks good in white and I bet would look just as good in amber.
Quick question, Does the tag light take one or two bulbs?

One 74 or 194 IIRC

Edit: they're 194s http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...edge-base/206/

Remember to check with local laws but most likely they require them to be white

Thanks. Yea I'm putting a white bulb for the license plate and amber for the dash lights. I put amber LEDS on my 240sx and it looks really nice.

I prefer t5 instead of 74s for the cluster but yes, five of them. Hvac are two t4s, shifters are 194s with a diameter less then 10mm (vleds.com has them) and the defrost and rear wiper are t4s

I'm pretty sure that's just another way of saying neowedge. The T5 LEDs are known as neowedge LEDs so type C is probably just the same. At least googling those didn't come up with anything different.

Here's the rest!

About $20 overall. I can post more pics of the shifters too if anyone wants.

How did you get the front off? I have a 98 too and the bulbs come off the back.

I would love to open the front and mod the gauge faces.

I don't know what happened here but I've tried moving them around and everything. They are both on but I don't have a clue why this is doing this.

Edit: sorry no idea why the pic is sideways.
