Trying to figure out bulbs for cluster, need bulb size for indicator lights (Backlighting bulbs are 24s according to Tanninauto, but after calling them they refuse to give me the number for indicator lights {O/D, ECT, etc.} weird.)
Anyone know?

24? I don't know what that is. Some bulbs are either T5 or T10, also known as 74 and 168/194. Do NOT replace the airbag light with an LED this will trip an SRS code which is hard to clear. Best thing is to pull the cluster and have a look. Again a warning do NOT turn the key to ON with the cluster disconnected same deal you'll get an SRS code.

Their reply here:
Edit: indicator lights are definitely not t10 or t5.. those are way too big

Why are you trying to remove them? Do they twist off?

They are a part of the trim piece that must be removed before the cluster can come out. I managed to flex the piece enough to get it to come out and just let it hang by the wires after trying to unplug it for nearly 2 hours. Not sure why mine will not unplug.

Hi and very informative. Will this procedure also work for the 93 LS400? My needles and warning lights are all working but no backlight at all.
