Do you use these 74's for all of the green led's in your car. (climate controls, window controls, headlights) because if im going to make one blue y not make it all blue

[starfuryt550]

the window switches, etc, are all 3mm leds

Just to let everyone know:
My 2005 MTX PZEV ZX3 without a tach needs 3 bulbs, not 1

im not talking about the three 194 bulbs that u'll see when u open up the gauge cluster, im talking about the bulb BEHIND the lcd screen itself. remember i did this SAME exact technique on an 06. and how to remove the black bracket, is stick a screwdriver in between each corner and try pop it out or remove it in a way it wont break.

plus why would the lcd screen would need 3 bulbs???

Will this work with the stock 03 gauge cluster? No tach, like this one just no tach...

Oh yeah, opps. Forgot this was only for the odometer. The 74 LED bulbs fit my cluster lights (which I wanted to figure out the size of for MONTHS), so that's good. I'm gonna pick up 4 SMT LED bulbs from vleds soon.

Thanks a lot.

o they do? well u can also use size 194 led bulbs as well.

looks nice man...this how-to is just for the lcd, right? so there are other bulbs that you changed for the gauges themselves?..

[ChuckDee]

yeh, it's just only for the lcd screen itself. and the gauges themselves, that's a different set. those r acually some gauge faces i got off of ebay. im planning on getting the indigo 6-color gauges. even though they're like $30 total with shipping, it's goin 2 b a way better upgrade.
