Check this site for LED conversion kits.

Some are plug n' play and others need to soldered in....depends on which specific LED.

I don't believe so.

It's part of that gauge cluster kit from what I can see.

I just bought another gauge cluster but don't have the funds at the moment to start buying up more LED's.

Nice link.
I have a problem with the #'s on the guage cluster. When i put it in sport shift the only number that comes up clear is 1. The 2,3,4,5 i'm missing the top portion of the numbers, it fades in and out or doesn't come up at all. Has anybody had this problem or thoughts on how to fix this?

umm, may sound dumb but your sure the dim control is all the way up? It's next to the cruise button.
