superbrightleds.com also carries the 74 bulbs in LED, and they also have the ones to replace your blinker, high beam, and cruise indicator lamps, "condom" and all. Has anyone tried to change the bulbs in their locks, mirrors, and windows buttons? Also, has anyone tried the cruise controls on the steering wheel?

I finally changed the gauge lights, too, but it seemed easier the way I did it. I just stuck something down in the back of the "condom" to break the wires that were soldered to each contact, then just pulled out the 194 bulb. Then, I just straightened out the leads of the LED 194 bulb and put them through the same holes that the soldered wires went through. Then I just folded the leads over the contacts, though I would reccomend soldering them if you're not on a tight time schedule. My fiancee, the owner of the car, was already late for work. She wanted them, though, and since she's a chick, rainbow gauges are OK lol. Anyways, as with everything else I do, here is the video of her new "7 color" (since the gauges are blue, it's more like 7 shades of blue, green, and purple, though the red shines through a little bit and lights up the needles, too, you can't see the red very well on the video) LED gauges. As seen in the previous video, her shifter also has the same effect. The video shows the trouble spot at the top of the tach, though it may look a little worse in the vid. I filmed the initial cycle upon startup, and then tried to illustrate what they look like after driving for a while and the bulbs have gotten out of sync.
