I am looking to replace the stock dash lights like several of you have, and I just ordered my NR Auto white face gauges. what color bulb looks blue-teal to match the odometer and the radio on the clock? I don't have a local ricer store to investigate (I guess they are few and far between in the Deep South) so I need some advice. Apparently in the ricer world, hyper white means blue....

I did my gauge cluster with Polag hyperwhites. There was a thread about it about a month ago. I've also got the NR white face gauges. Here are some pics:

here, you can see the difference between the change and the stock look from the radio

Black_yukon,
If you don't mind me asking - did you order those via the web, and how much were they? I see prices varying wildly from website to website, and I have no idea how much they should be going for. One place even had a 2-pk identical to yours and they wanted $15. That seems waaaaay high to me....

I live in Los Angeles, where there is a ricer store on every block. I got them for $8.00 for the 2 pack, but that was a hook-up price from my friend who owns a ricer shop. The avereage price you'll find will be between $12.00-$15.00. It's a little pricy, but I think it's worth it. The Polargs last forever and don't fade. i've heard of people buying lesser quality brands and they fadded to yellow within weeks. The last thing you want to have to do is tear your dash apart again and replace the bulbs every few weeks. This is the best price I found online, but the shipping charge sux:

Off the top, does anybody remember how many you need to do the cluster?

You'll need 6 bulbs, and here is the instruction on how to do it. Gauge Bulb Mod (http://www.anythingcars.com/members/chane/gaugebulb.htm)
