Hi,I replaced the AC lights with green...I decided against blue since the cluster was going to be blue. I like the green in the AC bc it isn't super bright....looks good.

Seeking this bulb as well. Any help would be appreciated. Took the dash apart to sort out a heating issue - never knew a few of these bulbs existed as the PO had removed the socket and folded it back into the dash cavity. Now that I have it all apart, I figure I ought to replace them.Hi,
I'm looking for a similar bulb for the lights in the heating console of a LC 1997 80 series collectors series. Bulb is 10mm wide and 15mm tall. Any ideas on a model number and where I could find this in North america.
Thanks
Duncan

Hey all. My 'D' shift pos dash light has died, and was considering changing to LEDs while I'm in there replacing it. Can anyone confirm in this fantastic bulb size chart that the "shift indicator (cluster)" is the PRND in the dash between the rev/speedo displays? Want to be 100% sure before I order parts and pull my dash out Cheers!
…and also, are the PRND lights different coloured GLOBES or does the dash have the coloured transparent that control the colours, i.e., should I be getting white globes for here?
Most of our bulbs are 30 years old so I feel like thats a pretty good run. I have never had an LED I installed in a xar last more than a few years.Thanks for the info everyone—I've only been a forum member here for a couple months and it's incredible how much knowledge there is on ih8mud and the eagerness for punters to share. It's like the oldskool internet!
I have considered replacing just the OEM bulb, but having not removed the dash before I feel it's a big task and therefore wanted to replace bulbs with LEDs so I wouldn't have to deal with it again. I quite like the idea of a generally white dash cluster over the lime green, BUT I do particularly like the emerald green of the P and D. I've read that the quality LEDs are dimmable, which is important if I decide to go white for the cluster. Last thing I want is to be blinded by the instruments while driving at night. I have the luxury of the 80 being a second car, so can leave the dash out for a few days while I try LED fitment and reorder parts if necessary.
Related, has anyone found a diagram/explainer on the PRND cluster and which bulbs affect which letter? There are way more bulbs that letters and arranged in a weird, stepped (?) pattern:

That’s a good way to look at it I suppose…
My understanding is many people who’ve used LED bulbs in the dash are now switching them back to non-led due to the failure rate…..
