Just changed out the instrument panel bulbs to LEDS. What a great improvement. Changed the tack bulb to Red LED....looks good. Now want to change the Speedo bulb to Red LED...How do I get to the bulb? Pry off the face plate? Remove that chrome screw on the back of the housing? Best to ask before I screw things up. Thanks for your help.

Two bulbs?? From posts I found here on adding colored LEDs to the Speedo, only one was mentioned as needed.....no one suggested two. Did I miss something?

Grzegorz....2 bulbs....could be....JackW posted this....


"Here is the part numbers for the speedo lights from superbrightleds.com
Quantity: 1
Product: 74-xHP Wedge Base LED Bulb $ 2.49 (each)
Options: Red 74-RHP

Quantity: 1
Product: WLED-x4 LED bulb $ 1.59 (each)
Options: Red WLED-R4


I bought mine in red and it looks great at night"

Maybe Jack will jump in here and straighten me out.
I assumed the 74-RHP bulb was for the Tach. That's where I put it and it fits/works fine.

Hello all, yes there is 2. As posted by Grzegorz, you have to unscrew the trip knob. Youll need another 74-rhp. It looks great at night. Good luck.

Thanks Jack and Grzegorz for the info..If anyone is ordering LEDs in the next while, perhaps you could order me a 74-rhp, mail it to me and I'll reimburse you. For me to order one bulb into Canada is very pricey.
