#74 bulb for the cluster. Search for deckniks threads, he put really good diys about leds. I did my cluster and a/c panel using his guides. Pretty awesome results.

yeah i used his guides but it never said the bulb type so i used the sylvania guide and that failed lol also noticed how much easier the jdm cluster looks compared to the usdm ones

lol not really, the clusters are basically identical but mirrored for RHD. You gotta basically take them ALL apart to change the bulbs. Well worth it tho.

I did alot of searching to find the correct bulb. I believe
( because im not at home where its sticky to my favorites) its 286 is the bulb number. Also t5 and 5mm ring a bell. Im gonna search a little bit for you on it now.

Correction..its in a members signature.... T1 3/4 5mm wedge base bulb. 286 or 74 bulb will work.

Heres a website i found that has the exact bulb the guy who did the DIY used. And i will be getting my LEDs from here as well.

those aren't the LED's i use anymore, those bulbs are ****.

and holy F that site is expensive, would cost you close to 35 bucks with shipping to do just the gauges and climate control and shifter!, wow, nevermind the rest of the car. I've heard bad things about that site as well

Just buy the lights from the dealer. They aren't that expensive ($6-$7), and you won't have to keep ripping the cluster out to test LED polarity. The new bulbs at the dealer are much whiter than the original. If you want custom LED, Deknick offers them for a decent price as a kit. I wouldn't take my chance with anything that hasn't been tested and confirmed.

i have never had an y problems from V-Leds. I did my first gauge cluster using led's from superbrightleds.com and they were GARBAGE. not even a week and my ****** looked like a christmas tree, ****** blinking out of control. I got replacements from the same vendor and again, merry f*k*ng christmas. I was told about vleds and i crapped myself at the prices... but I gave them a chance. Best led's i have come across: after ALMOST 1 year, my cluster, a/c control and ignition ring was blue. Never flickered or anything.

I just changed everything to red using the 3 led bulbs for the cluster (makes it SUPER BRIGHT! AWESOME) and 1 led bulbs for the other stuff. Looks pretty awesome.

I AM at the moment looking to find a vendor to buy led's for my rear tailamps and other led conversion projects: decknik, any good places to buy led's already wired in bulk?
