OK i am wanting to do my cluster, HVAC, etc with the blue Led's but i can't seem to find any threads on a 95-98 model, they all seem to be on the newer ones. I have searched on many different occasions and have had no luck. Is it possible, and if so, anybody got any pics of theirs done like this? I got a little over excited and went ahead and ordered 50 blue led's with resistors already wired in...you guys think these will work? Also, I could have just been overlooking this, but has anybody ever done their stock radio lights as well?

send those LEDs back. They sell replacement bulbs that swap right in without any need for extra resistors. I get all mine at superbrightleds.com. All the part numbers you need for the dash lights are in that thread. If you need anything else PM me, i have just about every light swapped over to LED, minus the front turn signals.

That's a good thread to go by, and I still have to post up the pictures I took from the install, so be on the lookout. Maybe I'll do it later today after work & class.

so there are no resistors needed for any of them..window controls, HVAC, etc? Also, shed any light on the radio backlights?

ah yeah, youll need to open up the stock radio and solder in the leds. I just got a better aftermarket Panasonic to match the blue gauges. You may need to use the individual leds for the door switches as well. I keep meaning to do it, but since i cant find replacement bulbs Im gonna just solder wires onto a #74 bulb and splice it into the door's wiring, then hot glue or epoxy them into the holes.
