How many LED bulbs are in an instrument cluster?
Each of these bulbs contains 5 LEDs that face in different directions for even lighting in an instrument cluster. They usually work with the dimmers, if other bulbs on the circuit remain incandescent. Here is a link to those bulbs:
What kind of light bulb do I need for a gauge cluster?
The type of LED bulb that you need should be based on the purpose of the bulb in the gauge cluster and how the cluster uses the light from the bulb.
Which is the best LED bulb for instruments?
Using a red LED bulb will provide better more even color and better contrast compared to the rest of the instrument panel. The best bulbs for this purpose are our single SMD bulbs which contain 3 LEDs per bulb and distribute their light in a 140 pattern.
Can you change the color of light in a cluster?
Selecting the color. In other words, they are just two different shades of white light. Of course, nothing prevents you from changing the color of the light in the cluster. If you prefer a green or blue light, simply select the bulb that you like. It can always be changed back with little effort.

Why is my GM instrument cluster not working?
These instrument clusters have a common problem with the gauges sticking, giving incorrect readings, or not working at all. Replacing the unit is not the best solution, because many of the replacement units often use the same faulty components as the original cluster.
