lol everyone should, just get another bulb with a wedge shape, i got a blue LED light for mine, looks sweet, or u can just get another standard white so its green

cool i was thinkin that do you think if i used a hi intensity white led it will be white or bright orange like the dash cause im thinkin of doing the same thing to the dash while im at it.... cause i tried blue leds on my falcon (sort of orange) and it turned green brown but they were just condoms soo hmmmmm http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/dry.gif

i havent pulled mine aprt yet either but generally there is like some little knobs u might want to call them... turn them anti clockwise and it should come out or else maybe a lil flat round thing wiht a flat head bit

there is one globe behind the heater panel, and it is smaller than a normal instrament/parker wedge bulb.

i know because i replaced all my lights with LEDs and couldn't put one of the custom LED clusters in this little socket.

can;t remember how to get the panel off, but it wasnt hard/trickey. just pull off all the lever knobs for a start and unscrew what you need to.

yea once u get to the heater pannel it comes out a bit but not fully out, and its pretty much the one in the middle with the wires commin from it, just turn it with needle nose pliers unless u have small fingers, hard to get bac on tho, well for an idiot like me anyway http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif
