First I had the idea of replacing my dome light with a submarine-like red bulb. Then I found
Super Bright LEDs and thought it'd be cool to add red accent lights under the dash and/or seats. Now I've decided to replace every bulb in the car with LEDs, including red ones for almost every interior bulb.
I've spent hours searching around for bulb types but nothing seemed as reliable as tearing the dashboard off and looking. I didn't have to take the dash off, only the console and instrument cluster, and I didn't need to remove the steering wheel like some instructions. Here are all of the bulbs I found in my 1993 Nissan NX2000:
PLACE REPLACEMENT
----- -----------
trunk 1 x 10mm wedge
tail 4 x 1157
backup 2 x 1156
rear flash 2 x 1156
brake 2 x 921 (wedge)
dome 1 x 30mm festoon
rear sidemarkers 2 x 194 (wedge, 45º)
front sidemarkers 2 x 194 (wedge, 45º)
front flash 2 x 1156
license plate 2 x 89 (wedge)
instruments 4 x 158/156
haz/def/fog switches 4 x T8
The lights in the stock stereo are soldered LEDs, but I don't turn the thing on anyway.
There wasn't much good information when I searched for things like "replacing 1993 nissan instrument cluster" or "1993 nx2000 replace stereo," so I'll take some pictures next time I tear everything apart. I spent a few hours scratching my head about how to remove the various panels without causing damage.
