hi does anybody know what size these bulbs are? ehat size are the big ones
and what size are the smaller ones??
Good one
Is there any way i can switch those light bulbs for some led?
@branman3333 the dash indicator lights are made green by a transparent
green film just below the surface of the indicator. i think they glue on.
in theory you could pull it off and put another one on in a different
color. ive never done it but in theory it should be possible
I wana change the color
someone else who has the sense to replace ALL the bulbs at the same time,
as you can gaurantee that a week later if you dont another bulb will
go,then another as their life spans are pretty much the same,when one
goes,the rest will soon follow,AREPLACE ALL THE BULBS,will only cost a few
pounds and save tons of hassle,especially if its a customers car.
what are the bulb size? please help me
Is it the same for a burnt out check engine bulb? In a 97 jeep Cherokee
sport?
@Gunshow0 will do
hey thanks,,, i took it to a auto electrician and they told me their was a
short, the previous owner of the car made a big mess with all the wiring
behind the dash. i gues they tried to install a stereo and oviously didnt
know how. but i got all the wiring restored and organized, and spend $50
bucks. but yea thanks!!!
how do you get the plugs on the left out of the dashboad.. so difficult and
it is never covered. awesome videos thank you!

I don’t like this guy! Might as well say thanks for nothing, and btw no I
won’t replace all my lights at once!
Do someone know what kinda lights you need into the Instrumental cluster? I
have a Audi a4 1996, wagon. The normal bulb light is ofc red. I want them
blue, the whole instrument cluster. My car is on repair now, so I can’t
open it myself to check wich light there is. Could someone help me? 🙂
Maybe send ebay link for some lights that i need? 🙂
ha. i have the same bulb blown.
Kohkpok
and you don’t? almost everyone has yellow teeth.
can you change the light colors of you cluster this way too?
wow…looks like he powdered his hands with break dust before shooting this
video.
HelpFul
I need to know, How I remove this cluster. My E320 1999.. Please Let me
know HOW..
sometimes the bulbs may look fine but they are actually burnt. did u try
checking the bulbs individually by a tester or a multimeter? all the bulbs
in the cluster are 12v so go ahead and try each and every bulb on 12v power
source to see if they work. it they are working, then something must be
wrong in the wiring of the cluster, check the fuse box to see if any fuse
are blown coz the bulbs are not getting power. but i put my money on the
blown part of the bulbs. hope this helps.
I have a 99 Ford Explorer and the windows and the wipers don’t work. they
stopped working at the same day. I did Check all fuses and relays and all
are good. Do You have an idea what could be happening?
is it okey if i replace the bulb with a different number of bulb?? the
number of my bulb is 158.. i used #161 but it didnt work.. is the number of
the bulb is the problem or theres another problem besides with the bulb?
thanks. hope you can answer me with this
I have a 1983 Ford F100 and the cluster on your truck is so similar..I
pulled the panel out and changed the bulbs in less than 30 min..I love
Ford..
if i put super bright led bulbs do i have to do anything such as resistors
I had to take the illumination lights fuse out because it causes my dash
lights and parking lamps to stay on even when the switch is not turned on.
The switch works fine for a little while when the fuse is in but after a
while the switch gets really hot to the touch causing the instrument
cluster and parking lamps to stay on even when turned off. The correct fuse
is used and does not blow when the switch gets hot. But if I leave the fuse
in those lights stay on and kills the battery!
just did this on a 97 expedition. Easier than the explorer, you don’t have
to remove the knee bolster on an expedition.
wow thanks i have a 99 ford ranger wiht a blown light bulb and this and the
ford ranger are exactly the same
@99f234 ive done alot of research but cant find much. srry
