no it not that one either. mine has the same gauges as stevec but the metal cover that hold the plastic on it totally different. ill take a picture next time i go out to my truck.

and thanks but i already got the bulbs ordered. when i took mine apart there were only two of the 1895 bulbs which i guess are exactly the same as a BA9. the website i got the new bulbs from has dimensions and they matched up with the bulbs i had so hopefully they are right.

oh i know mine was painted because i painted it haha. thank you for that info. so back to the original purpose of this thread, what bulbs did you get for your cluster, since they are the same. i just want to make sure i ordered the right ones, and there is only two bulbs correct?

got my LEDs today. looks pretty bitchin. expected brighter but im more than content. i got the blue ones for the dash and my monster tach and then i got a red one for ym dome light. didnt know how bright they were so i got the 19 LED for the dome light and its a tad overkill haha. ill post pictures once i figure out how to take good ones, my camera isnt cooperating.

just realized i never got pics up of my dash lights. oh and the dash bulbs are a BA9 i also put some 3 LED lights under my dash and wired them into my dome light switch so the whole interior glows red now. looks awesome in my opinion.
