well heres the auction of what I got
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1
I thought my tach had the same bulbs but when i took it apart it has tiny little bulbs that are soldered in there

but anyways heres a few pics, i also put them in the turn signal indicators and removed th green screen, they look like a really bright circle on camara but they are still the arrow shape and look good in person.. its hard to get a good pic or them all at once, I have a 13 1/2 inch steering wheel and no tilt

The first pic I just had it laying there to test it so its not installed...my tac is on the column

looks like the light is bleeding thru since you removed the grenn plastic cover over the turn signal indicators.I have used the red plasic plastic cover used for the high beams for the signals before and it looked pretty neat, not white but different.

1LOC10 your dash looks awsome. I do have aquestion. how did you (or anyone that has done this) hook them up? on my dash I have the 1895 bulbs and dont know how to install the spade type lights? any help would be great.

oj70chevy · 05-17-2006, 08:20 AM

The ones I have are 1895 (like mini 1157) bulbs. And I can not figure it out how to make it work

. 1LoC10 would you happen to have a pic of the plug where you lights plug in and the back of your cluster?

**Hart_Rod** · 05-17-2006, 10:08 AM

Are you going to put an LED in your Tach also?

1LoC10 · 05-25-2006, 02:00 PM

I ddint take a pic but its just holes in the back of the cluster... and the wedge bulbs just push in little black things and those twist into the holes... like a side marker light type deal
