seems like my far right gauge cluster light decided to die tonight, coming home I noticed that the 80+MPH side is barely even lit, I'm just curious to how long those bulbs last? and is it pretty easy to fix? I haven't seen any 04+ dashes pulled apart...

 

Do you still have a warranty? They should not be out that quick

 

nope just went out too, I swear this pisses me off, cause I have the feeling its a PITA to replace that bulb... let me get a pic of it

 

Replacing the bulb isn't bad at all...if you can find the bulb. You just have to pull the console and twist the little bulb holder out.

 

I've noticed that a lot lately with new vehicles........head and tail lights burning out quickly.

I don't know if warranty would cover that though. It's a bulb.

 

BEFORE:



NOW:

 

Yeah its a cluster bulb though, not a normal headlight bulb.

 

probably a lil cheaper to go with LEDs this time around... could do a cluster color change make them all white

is there a sticky on here to remove the cluster? I know bob made one but his was for a older model...

 

I have these 3 LED replacement bulbs sitting right here that are waiting to go in my HVAC soon, I'll let you know how well they work.

 

so the dealerships have these in stock? I guess I gotta go dump 17 bucks into the thing... got a part #?

 

Um they probably do, if you want I can ship you my stocker tomorrow.

 

[EDIT] Will be delt with tomorrow...

 

guys I'm stuck here, how do I get this out???

 

nvm I got it, but here's the bad news they are not 194s!!!! they are some small lil bulb about the size of a LED...

 

Your dealer should carry those in stock.

 

Yeah its a 74 bulb

 

whatever you end up doing, let me know how it goes, and take pictures of the process.

because i want to do blue LED's inside my truck.

 

dealers here did NOT have it in stock so I gotta wait and they said they would have it tomorrow, so I just put the dash back together in ~25mins. that one bulb was $15.99!!! thats effin insane, I'm probably gonna end up doing something different down the road, that's a 1/2 a$$ design right there! why didn't ford have LEDs in there stock???

 

cuz then it'd be toooooo cool haha

 

Its not like you are going over 80 anyways lol

 

pshh... I did last night... the arrow just sticks out really good now, should be cool white when I swap to LEDs later in the Spring...

 

I've got some spare #74 LEDs bro.

 

what color?

just finished up got the bulb installed and it looks good like it use to...
