Replacement Instrument Cluster Lights
For my MSM, I just replaced the instrument cluster lights with LEDS.
I used 74-RHP3 lamps for the small bulbs in the cluster. These require pulling the old bulb from the socket and replacing the old bulb with the new LED. This is an easy pull - push operation. Removing the socket from the cluster requires a quarter turn rotation and removal of the socket. While I used the red LED's, they are available in several colors.

For the larger bulbs....there are 4 in my recollection, I used 194 LED Bulb w/ Socket - 5 SMD LED - Miniature Wedge Retrofits. These come with a socket and simply require rotating the old bulb out and rotating in the new socket. Again, the ones I chose were red, you have other choices available.

These are considerably brighter than the stock bulbs. I found the stock bulbs to be very dim, particularly during evening conditions.
If you have a bulb out, or if you have the cluster out for some other reason, consider this upgrade.
Also, I have no affiliation with SuperBrightLEDs, I just found their product first, and have had success with them.
