Those white gauge clusters I actually like. I usually don't like any that are way too different looking from factory. Pretty much any gauge overlay for the Evo looks retarded imo because Lancer's and Evo's have always had that same type of plain font I like. With the exception of Ralliart white face gauges, those aren't too bad. I would say try to purchase a dome light without the glass around it so it won't narrow the beam path. Superbrightled's have cheaper bulbs than most people and have good customer service.

I ordered 3022-xHP4. They have all the Specs for every bulb under more info, and the high powered LED's are usually brighter of course.

I'm almost %99 sure you blew out one of your 2 main bulbs that light up the speedo and tach. I'm also sure a few other smaller bulbs are blown out. I know the two main wedge bulbs are #74.
MR444536 - Clear bulb for warning light (SES, SRS, FUEL, DOOR)
MN134600 - Bulb with blue condom for lcd odometer
8180A001 - Bulb with white condom for speedomter and Tachometer(There are two of those so if one goes out, half of the cluster goes out.

Some bulbs are $2 each, some are $3. I would order the MN134600 in white or red LED from superbrightleds they're cheap will last you a lifetime. I'm just not sure if you would need a #74 120 degree or 360 degree beam.

im having problems finding the bulbs that start with m or 8. i found the #74 with no problem. i figure ill get the 360 just to be safe, shouldnt be any harm in it

I haven't located another short or tried yet, but I blew out 2 7.5 amp fuses last night. Sucks that your Evo got stolen, was this recently? Hope law enforcement finds it or you get a check from insurance.
Naa was a few months back (9-10). ive since moved on to another 240. but ill be back to the Evos soon.
Glad i could help with your problem.

Ok so my #20 pops instantly . And if I take the fuse out below it I have dash lights but no tail lights albeit no dimmer function. If I put the driver side lights fuse back in I have driver side tail, and when #20 back in it pops instantly. Something is shorting but aside from tearing the whole loom apart how do I find the problem

Video of my problem. any suggestions would do. At This point All fuses check good, All Relays check good, No grounded wires behind the dash/cluster (have not checked near ECU). All the indicator lights work on the cluster also, forgot to show that (Turn signals ,IC sprayer ,seatbelt etc.)
I am having the exact same problem and can not figure it out.

It was a damned fuse. I swear I check them all 4 times. lol. Then I started pulling them. Noticed that one was out of place for some reason. Put it in the right spot and the instrument panel now lights up with the lights on.
