I just want to clarify a few things before I order. I have a 99 sport btw
Which one of these should I get? I heard some look purple after install so I wanna make sure I get the correct ones(I want blue)
Gauge Cluster:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Pcs-New-C...-/150830720371
OR
http://www.vleds.com/bulb/74-led/blue-led.html
And this is for Tranny/tcase: http://www.vleds.com/6-blue.html
Thank you!

Can someone also explain how to get at the bulbs/lights in the transfer case? Do you actually have to remove the whole center console to get at them? I know for the tranny you can just pop off the piece of plastic but it doesn't seem like you can do that with the transfer. I've got a 99 btw

For sure, it took me a bit to get confident that I had ordered all of the correct bulbs and low and behold every single one I ordered was a direct fit with 0 modification required.

and
2 194's for my tranny/transfer: http://www.vleds.com/blue-high-power...21-1-pair.html

Anyone know for sure what bulbs fit in the 2000-01 overhead consoles? I expect to receive mine soon and want to order the bulbs for it when I buy the dash and other bulbs.
Thanks for any help
