Sweet. I'm going to be behind there in a couple days anyways to replace my guage surround and install my headlight (city light) mod that I did along with a re-build wiper switch module. I'll have to replace all of those little bulbs with brighter ones.

Are the bulbs in all of the little switches and everything the same as the guage ones?

the light part number is 272-1092. they'll work for most of the switches around the cluster and the logicon bulbs.

the switches and the logicon have special grey twist in sockets. they seem nearly flush on the switch(1/8" up) and i used a pick tool to remove them and spin them counter clockwise on the removal. the bulb isn't soldered in, it slides in the socket and you have to merely "un-wrap" the leads around the socket when you pull the bulb. its very simple. you'll see what i mean when you pull the bulb out. when you install the new bulb, you'll have to re-wrap the leads in the reverse of how you unwrapped them and snip the excess off of the bulb's leads. its very easy to figure out. you'll get it as soon as you pull one bulb.
