Yeah man when I took my dash out the bulbs are weird.. for the 02 that is, now for the 97 like you have, they are very simple. And quite a few people with 97's have already done that mod. Now I haven't seen anyone with an 02 do it.. yet.
Man!!! I had no idea how many different LED's there are to choose from. I read that whole thread link you sent me and I'm still a bit comfused about which ones to get but I'll have another read. I get the feeling that any 194 will work though.
So I got some LEDs and the smaller 74 bulbs are too wide in the middle part. They are called Wedge Based. Do you know if I can cut away the plastic to make it fit without damaging the bulb?
