<p>[QUOTE="JB7, post: 12414854, member: 339737"]Pull one out and see if there is a number on it. Order from the dealer, they will know the right bulb. Most times these cluster bulbs are only available from the dealer and they are pricey, could easily be $8 - $12 per bulb if not more. Even if you could find them aftermarket I have heard that they only last a few months. As far as the needle look at the back of the cluster and see if there is a bulb for the needle in the center of the tach and speedo. If there is the current bulb is clear and changing the color of the bulb would change the color of the needle.
