welcome to the forum
Scroll down the main thread title - the area you are currently in, look for thread on LED dash bulb conversion
if not there look in problems and fixes
also our DIY section should have all the info you need

try an outside search engine for led dash bulbs + acurazine.com
our search doesn't like 3 letter items

Could you please point me in the right direction for this? I'm reading conflicting sizes, I wanna do EVERYTHING possible. I can buy the kits for the dash etc... But i'd rather just get the right sizes off ebay, ALOT cheaper.

I haven't installed my bulbs yet so I don't want to tell you if they are right just yet. I am doing it tomorrow! I'll let you know how everything goes tomorrow.

So the bulbs I got for the gauge cluster, are #74 bulbs jtech off of amazon, easy plug and play. Also for the shifter light it is a #74 bulb as well. I ran into some trouble with the other bulbs I got which were t3 and t4 neo wedge bulbs from superlumination.com. I had to unwrap each bulb from their wedge and then feed each bulb back into the wedge that fit behind the a/c, the controller knobs and the clock. I don't recommend it to anyone who doesn't have patience and steady hands. But they all work perfectly and I'm satisfied. Took me about 4-5hrs though but now she is blue!

Okay I'll take some pictures tonight. Where did you get the door projectors? Those are really cool!

Also I'm thinking of just ordering 50 piece set of 3mm for rest of my car and just in case they blow out. Because I mastered wrapping them haha. I'm just skeptical on what company to get them from.

I got 6 T4 bulbs, 1 for the clock and 5 for the climate controls. Which i have a feeling they are just 4mm bulbs. Then i got 8 T3 which are 3mm bulbs. But you'll need 4, 3mm bulbs 2 for the knobs and 2 for the a/c screen. But for your gauges you'll need about 9 #74 bulbs and 1 #74 for your shifter.
However if you want to do fog light button, cruise control, seat warmers, sunroof button, and etc you'll need a bunch of 3mm bulbs. Once again you're going to have to unwrap each bulb from the wedge and then wrap the LED bulb the best you can. I used a small flat head and some tweezers. Also I recommend trying to get round bulbs some LEDs come flat or square which make it harder to get the bulb to fit. I hope this helps!
