does anyone know if the T1.5 bulb assembly is the same as a #74 bulb? i looked on ******************** and they dont have any T1.5 bulbs. does anyone know of a better place to get bulbs, or where i can find this one?
slide the needles off of the clusterso the springs have no load and simply put them where they should be when everything is switched off. if you guys twisted the needles thinking they usnscrewed like i did to my fuel gauge then your screwed and have to have it fixed. or buy a new cluster. used ones here are a lot cheaper. they are around $500 new.
OK FROM SOMEBODY WHO WENT THROUGH THIS
Dude, first thing, replace the bulbs back to stock. make this look like a random problem and you've got no idea what the hell happened. Take it down to the mitsu dealer and explain the problem. Sounds like you're still under warrenty and the gauge cluster os covered. Just make sure you remove all evidence of modding. It will take about a week if they don't have the cluster and have to order one. Hopefully they'll give you a rental. When you get the car back and repaired, DON'T MESS WITH IT! They won't charge you for it, as long as you covered your tracks good
I went through holy hell when I tried putting on the reverse glow cluster. It's for sale if anybody wants! CLEARANCE! $20 for it. I want to get rid of that damn thing
good luck man, and let me know how you make out

i've installed gauges before and had no problems. did all you guys start it up first and mark where the needles were? if you do that, they should go right back to the right place. maybe i just got lucky on all the ones i've done.

i think tidals idea is the best. thats probably what im gonna do. my only issue, being the idiot that i am, is that i dont have all the covers. i took them off and figured i wouldnt need them again, so i put them somewhere and now i cant find them. can i buy them somewhere? just the stock light covers.
Fenix, by light covers do you mean the black plastic over the indicator lights? or something else.. I'm half awake right now and it's almost finals week at my college so i'm all cloudy in the head... now if you'd like to discuss Valence electron theory and we determine the charge of a molecule from it's structure then hit me up lmao
