    My Cluster gauge bulbs went out tonight during a night time drive.. Soo I'm wondering how hard is it to take it out and put new leds in the back and what size?

    i don't know what size bulb it is.. but that might be too bright if you had a crazy high mcd l.e.d.... imagining a mag light led cell.. ha ha.. but anyways, if you get a jumbo led from the shack or something just remember that you need a resistor, google led 12v or something and there are formulas for it, you might not need a resistor if you use 3 wired in parrallel/series(forgot which one it is) because otherwise they will burn out early.. i think they are rated at 3.x something or 4 volts(hence the wiring 3 stuff) and there is a +/- side to them too.

    but did you make sure it isn't a fuse that made them all go out, usually they burn out one at a time, i think.. or maybe the dimmer switch? mine is sketchy and will turn the lights out from a bad contact or something
