Does anyone know what kind of LEDs those are in the instrument cluster? Size, voltage, mounting?

Think I figured this one out sportin... You'll need 6 twistlocks and 6 #194 LEDs with the 4 separate little bulbs on them (these give it just the right brightness). Just twist the LEDs into the twistlocks. Then twist the old ones out of the cluster and reinstall these new twistlock/LED combos. Test if all the LEDs work before buttoning everything up. If one doesn't work turn the bulb 180 degrees in the twistlock. Warning that there might be "hotspots" or places that are brighter right where the bulbs are under the cluster. Use some little pieces of the rubber bulb covers or something right on the tops of the bulb to dim the bulb right there and prevent the hotspots. Note that the dimming feature also will not work with LEDs, simply on and off. You can get both of the things from ebay. The LEDs might be a couple bucks each and the twistlocks are like .59 cents. If you want to change the other little bulbs at the top of the cluster like the highbeam indicator those are a smaller LED... I believe its T1.5 or something.. they already have the twistlocks on them.
