I did on my 11 OBV. The only ones I didnt change were on the cruise. I will try to find some pics of the finished product. Was fairly easy to do
REALLY????

Yes, quite a few did this a few years ago. I did not, so hopefully they will chime in with first-hand advice. From what I remember, after you get yourself crammed & contorted under the dash, it's a quick twist to get the old bulb out and again to get the new bulb in. I think one of the sites they ordered from was this one:

Yep - should be all 194 style bulbs. On the back of each gauge - twist and pull out bulb housing/holder - yank out old bulb, push in new.
IIRC bigger gauges on mine took 2 bulbs, smaller gauges just one.
I did find some of the 194 style from SuperBrightLeds a little finicky with making a good contact for some reason. Flipped them around in the bulb housing and seemed to help.So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

I went with the smallest - the WLED-x-x and were $.79 a piece so not bad at all. I was worried about them being too big for the opening or too bright and being distracting but they're really not. Could have safely gone a bump or two up and been fine but the next few sizes up didn't advertise the wide angle until the WLED-5x one that is 220 degrees but then they were at $3 a pop.
Be curious to see how much brighter they are and if they'd be too much. I think you want to go non polarized too.So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

My stock bulbs were just clear 194's with a little green rubber boot over them. I've seen other colored 194 bulbs in the auto parts store but of course they never had blue and cost was about the same as the cheaper leds.
Hey where's SandM - he could do his in PINK like this!So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

I had my dealer order the 194s in red and they said they would not fit.

I just got these in the mail last week. Their not the brightest bulbs out there but they still look cooler than stock.
