Exclamation Replacing gauge bulbs

Ok so I finally got around to replacing some of the interior bulbs in my car from the ugly yellow to xenon white in the doors, dome etc (although I havent been able to find the 2 map light bulbs in xenon so they are still ugly yellow, anyone know where I can get them, they are the round ones above your head in the dome light?). But I wanted to know if on our cars we can replace any of the instrument bulbs and a/c control bulbs? I already did a search and all I came up with was something for the SC model, so I wanted to know if anyone has actually done it on our cars? How hard is it, how many bulbs can you replace, what bulb # are they, are you happy with the results? Please post pics of before and after if you have them. Thanks!

Hey Mcnelson long time no see, thought you got rid of the car also. Anyway, there was a post from some one not to long ago that he changed out his lights in the AC panel. I will look for it and attach the thread if i find it. As for the instrument panel. i changed out some of my bulbs about a year ago and its not that hard. just takes some time taking it a part. There are about 12 to 15 bulbs in there, and if your gonna change them, change them all. i did about half of them not thinking that the new ones would shine brighter then the old ones that were still good. . I did not take any pic's of doing the job , but i have seen some of your work and know you would not have any problem DIY. I got my replacement bulbs from the dealer at about $2 or $3 each i think. As for the neddles, thats a whole different story, i have one that is out and from what i have heard its easier to just replace the whole thing. I will look for the one post and get it to you .
