Well, FINALLY got the wheel leak fixed. Ended up being a 3" long crack in the barrel of the rim. A little aluminum welding, and its all fixed. Fixed all the burnt out bulbs in the dash too. Replaced them with LED's. Hopefully get my Ebrake and done this weekend and next week. i also for got to tell you guys i got the 06+ emblems put on finally and the new plates came in. Pictures in the morning.

Here are the ones I bought from Superbrightleds.com took about 3 days to get them.

what color, did your remove the green film on the back of the guage face?

 

[Josh40601]

Natural White. Left it on there. Its turns to a aqua-ish color and the needles are bright white.

those are the same bulbs i ordered, i got 2 natural whites and 2 blues, gonna try them both to see what looks best in the 1st gen dash...

 

[Josh40601]

Thought about going with Cool White, but decided, "**** it" at least i can actually see the gauges on the left side now. lol

 

[4.0B2]

correction.. mine are cool white. i need to get off my butt and get that done so i can order the rest of which i decide.

also i have a dash painted- ready to install in my room. it's been ready for over a year... hahahahaha, i'm a slacker.

[Josh40601]

eduardo, the are a little more green than yours. The 93-94 dash must have more of a green tint to them.

4.0, what railman said. You will have to come to Black Mountain when I get back home.
