Dash board bulbs out

I have a bunch of lights out in my dashboard (hazzard, VSA, volume control/channel control and call button on the steering wheel) that I'd like to replace..... My question is where can I het them and does anyone have a write up on how to get the dash apart to get to them. Can I convert them to LEDs so I don't have to deal with these Damn bulbs going out on me all the time? If so where can I get LEDs for replacement dash lights...... Thanks

Go edit and hit enter after each "part".

You can't edit like a certain time after you posted (I think 15 minutes?)

If you want to just replace your bulbs, you don't need to solder anything. You can just buy the bulbs online (delray acura, oemacuraparts, etc) and replace the burnt out bulbs like you replace a light bulb in your house (plug and play...)

I had to replace some bulbs, too.

Replacing the bulb is easy (twist old bulb out, twist new bulb in).

Getting to the bulb is the harder part.

Super bright LEDs sells instrument lights but I don't know which ones fit and will work. I wanted to convert all the dash lights to LED but I don't want to solder and these seem like they may work

Only reason I haven't done them is mainly fitment. Wanna make sure I get the right sizes. Definately think there are options that don't require soldering. I think the Super Bright LED's may be the way to go.
