stupidd--the bulbs in the cluster are incandescent bulbs and not leds. As far as I know, LEDs need resistors to work. I'm not sure exactly if the leds on that site are compatible with the regular socket. Hope that helps.

I thought of something else. You want bulbs because the light has to diffuse through the light guides. LEDs are too directed and won't work right. I'm pretty sure the colored bulbs will fit the 01 cluster only. I looked at my 02 bulbs and they are bigger. I can't say for sure, cause there are no measurements of the bulb.
Lol. I looked at the bulbs from the 01 cluster and it says 74 right on them. So those are the right bulbs to get. They're only $1 each, so if you don't like the blue, you could always try white.
Yes, but only if you have an aftermarket gauge face setup, or if you're following the DIY and you acetone the back of the stock face. Otherwise it will be dim and not the right color. Those bulbs are only good for the 01 cluster.
I just noticed that my fuel needle has a purple tint to it. The rest are blue except for that. Figures, cause at radioshack I got 5 from one bin and 1 from another (same part number). Oh well, lol. I'm tired of messing with it.
I already had to take everything out and scotch tape the wires down so the LEDs would stay in their holes.
gearbox, i think u should make a few of them n then sell them to the people who want them. seems like a lot of people like them, they just dont wanna do the work. u can make mad $$$
Nice idea, but I would have to have the actual cluster and play with it. I'd be too afraid to break something. They actually sell just the wired LEDs. They're called intelliglow needles, but very pricey at around $90. If anyone local in Illinois is interested, I could help out at the next DIY meet in spring.
