Led instrument cluster bulb identification
944online sells a complete led instrument cluster upgrade. it comes with 17 twist style bulbs for the warning lights and 3 wedge style for the illumination. ive already identified the 3 illumination bulbs, but would like to figure out what the 17 others are. superbrightleds.com has pretty good pricing.
![]() oh and ive done a lot of research and i am aware that certain bulbs in the instrument cluster, such as the alternator and airbag light bulbs should be left alone. I believe user by the name of "9ff" had some experience with this, but i pulled his list of leds from another thread and im a little confused. arent all 17 bulbs the same? it looks that way in the picture of bulbs that 944online sells. Heres "9ff"s list * 74-xHP Wedge Base LED Bulb (10 needed) #This is for speedo, rpm, oil, volt, clock, and centerconsole# * B8.5D Instrument Cluster LED Bulb (7 needed) #This is for left gauge# I would get 3+ more cus they are pretty easy to break when putting them in. * 3022-x4 LED Festoon Bulb (1 needed) #This is for the glovebox# * 4211 LED Festoon Bulb (2 needed) #This is for the luggagelight in the back and domelight like i said ive done a lot of research, so those of you who prefer filament style bulbs, save your opinions. ive read through a number of your threads. Thanks guys

![]() ![]() These pics are from *****************. Looks to me like there are 3 different types of bulbs. the 4 1.2w instrument warning bulbs. The 3 illumination bulbs, then 18 (1.2 or 2w) warning bulbs on the back.

I have a 968 cluster out in front of me and it shows only 2 different bulb types. the 3 x 3w illumination bulbs and then all the rest are 1.2w bulbs for the warning lights.
