Soooo simple to do. There were 8 bulbs total (which included the two turn signal blinkers). If you include the transmission and transfer case indicator bulbs (which each have 1 bulb), 10 total. And all of these bulbs (dash and shift indicators) are 168/194 bulbs. I just got a 10 pack off eBay of the blue LEDs from China. I paid like $10 for all 10.

Guess I'm gonna have to give it a try now...the blue would match my fm transmitter/charger, multi PowerPoint, and radio. Plus I have a few burned bulbs that are just pissing me off lol, can't see my shifter at night.

As for what I did to my XJ today, took it through some mud, then buried it up to the bumper in mud. Was one of those "doesn't look that deep...crap" moments. Had to be rescued by my buddies stock 4cyl Wrongler. better get on the ball and get me some 33" mud tires, these bald 31" all-terraint jus aint cutting it.

Haha oh come on man that is the easiest bulb in the world to replace. Just grab that piece of plastic and pull up. It'll give. And the bulb will be right there

To recap for the week with my xj. A few day ago I dumped seafoam into gas tank. Last night I order my shocks, I'm having them sent to my shop so my fiance doesn't find out she literally kill me, and today I'm gonna get some M1 high mileage 10-30 and an m1-301 filter to do during the week

Default Bought a lift kit

Bought the lift kit today. 3.5" RE super flex. Should be here sometime next week.

I'm hopping that the hubbys TJ will finaly be up and running this weekend so we can get it installed before the end of the month. I've spend the past month & a half helping him work on his TJ, now it's my Jeep's turn for some attention.

Finnished exterior bedlining. Glad I used self etching primer for exterior paint. Backing out I slid the passenger side door against a brick. No scratch! Half way done with the inside. Gotta do the front yet.

Oh I know where it is and exactly how to get to it, I've just been lazy lol. Besides I didn't wanna buy a regular bulb if I was gonna swap them all over to LEDs anyway.
