so, the right side of my gauge cluster light went out. i google about it and looks like it happens alot with the 02-03 OZ series. i pulled the cluster and its a burnt out bulb for sure. the only problem, no one carries it. not even the local mitsubishi shop. dont really feel like buying a whole new cluster so i can strip a light bulb out of it. anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

 

whats the bulb look like?

 

small, red coated bulb. kind of like this bulb in this link, except coated in red.

google it!

 

i tried. there really nothing to say about it. at least i couldnt find anything on the topic. bummin' me out.

 

I have replaced my original bulbs with LEDs (to change the gauge display to a blue color)... and the results were spectacular. The LEDs were a tab larger than the original bumbs and took a tiny bit of work for them to fit, but once they did, it looked great. I think this is what you're looking for if you'd like to go the same route I did: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...s%2F74_t15.htm

Keep in mind that you should replace all the cluster lights (I think 5 total - including the digital odometer/tripmeter) if you're going to go with LEDs. But for me, it was the best looking CHEAP upgrade I've made to my Baby.

 

yeah, those LED look basically the same style of OEM bulb currently in the car. ill give those LED's a try. anything special i should know about fitting them into the cluster?

 

They were a really tight fit. I sanded down the first 2 but it took too much time. So the next ones I just forced in there. Worked just fine. In other words, just make it happen

 

im looking to change the color of the cluster to blue also.. are these the exact bulbs that you used? Cuz im trying to find them at a local shop before i order them. i dont wanna wait

 

These are the exact ones. I'm 98% sure of it. They shipped fairly quickly too. If I remember right, I think I got them in 2 business days.

 

i dont mean to be a pain, but i read on a different forum that led's werent the best thing to put in your cluster. Would it be possible to post some pictures of your cluster so that we can all see if this other forum is full of crap? thanks in advanced.

 

It would be really nice to see the pics with LED's inside.

Mine cluster just went bad with 2 bulbs, it's irritating...

Problem with LED's is they not spread the light arround, but making a light spot instead...

So, please post the pic so we can see the looks of it

Thanks!
