Once I get to the tl-s gauges, then i'll go all out. It's actually extremely easy to my surprise. If you ever need anymore leds, let me know, i have at least 200+ blue and white leds just laying on my table.

i got a quick question would 17022 Neo - Wedge Instrument Panel Bulbs are 12mm (3/8") diameter x 21mm (13/16") high from http://autolumination.com/74.htm [half way down] work as the replacements for our buttons like cruise control and fog lights and sun roof buttons?

If you want, I caught these with the friend's phone.. here's how my led conversion came out:
The radio doesn't look like that in person though, I barely see any hot spots unless you try strain your eyes looking for them. Any comments?

major props in doing the whole thing. that's quite a bit of soldering! i can't imagine soldering with those cruise control/sunroof/trip computer buttons where those tiny wedge bulbs are... 
btw joe did you see my reply above from a few days ago?

the LAST type of bulbs i would love to have are the miniature verison of the neo-wedge bulbs that go in the middle AC temperature display as well as all the buttons on the dash (sunroof, trip select/reset, TCS/cruise, window up/down)... with those i'll be really completing the package!
if you do you are my hero. at least allow me to pay for shipping

shift gate led upgrade
i could not find the letters at walmart, target, staples or any store like that, the smallest letters they have are 1/2 inch, so what i did is i went to fast signs, and took them the black shifter plate with the PRND4321 and they matched up the letters pretty good so its not a hard mod to do, the hardest part is finding the letters

Speaking of back from the dead... 
To anyone in Canada who has viewed this and had problems locating a 1/4" sticker set (since it seems no site ships to Canada and Walmart/Staples/Michael's don't carry this size ...
) - check out cleansweepsupply.

Sounds like a great deal, but there has to be enough interest to make it worth investing his time and effort.
all you need to do is get some nail polish remover with a q tip, remove the tint behind the letters and tada, no need to make on yourself. be very careful though because you can remove the black around it and mess it up

I know this thread is old but, did anyone else have trouble getting the bulbs to fit in? It seems like the stock 74s are so much smaller than the ones suggested to be bought from this thread. Any feedback would be appreciated.
