well U need 5 bulbs for ur dash #194, and one bulb #74 for ur odometer, u can use leds but be carefully because they burned out as mine, but if u want to still use leds u should use a led bulb like this one

i tryed to take off one the needles, but stoped cus it was not moving to good so i pushed it back on then hooked it all back up and to my surprise, it did not work so i had to use the tac for a speed refrence. then one day i took it in the dealer and thay said " you know that your spedo dosent work , so we ordered you a new one. sweet, a freebe

What bulbs do I need to use? Anyone done this to an 09 yet?

[manorness7]

the diode insde burning. And yes you can use normal bulbs. That is what I did.

I think you mean the resistor burning out, the diode is the light and I have never seen the light burn out, without doing it on purpose anyway... I've had to replace reisitors before but not in my car, for other lighting and they're good to go.

I went led in my guages and they're fine. It all depends on what kind of resistor they're using when they make them. If you go with the right bulb it should do fine in a car.

does anyone know what other cars these bulbs (SMD blue LED 194) will fit?
