robin Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 they are normal 501 bulbs with a green plastic condom thing over them which push into a green base that clips into the rear of the cluster. I had a dark patch on my speedo and simply pulled the green filter off and put it onto a sidelight bulb. Works fine but I think the dash bulbs are only 2 or 3 watt. The 5 watt one i used is noticeably brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest big ste Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 so you can replace with side light bulbs? on previous cars ive put led blue or red side light bulbs in to change the colour of the dash and they had a side light bulb with like a condom filter thing over them,cheers for the help guys,i really dident want to butcher my supra and not acheive owt lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
