    20250319_162431.jpg Half of my gauge cluster lights are out, 2/3 HVAC Nobs are out, and the shift indicator lights are out too, looking to maybe swap it for some LEDs, preferably about the same color, if anyone could link to a kit I'd appreciate it20250319_162036.jpg20250319_162014.jpg

    You can buy OEM incandescent bulbs that will match the color. I think all of them have an orange colored flexible plastic cover to tint the color of the white bulbs.

    Another option is to buy LEDs to replace. I don't know of full kits, but in my 2003, I bought the LED equivalent of the bulb types for all of the ones you mentioned. The HVAC one is fun to remove the whole box and then have to then disassemble it further to get inside to replace the lights.

    BONUS: I bet you didn't know there is also a light in the glove box that is probably burned out.

    I would use a high quality led at least for the cluster. I used a Phillips branded one you can find at advance. Trust me you do not wanna pull the cluster twice because the leds overheated and burned out.
