Hi, i'm looking to replace my dash lights with LEDs. I'm planning on taking the steering wheel off to get to the binnacle. I know I need to disconnect the battery for a period of time so that the airbag light doesn't come on.

I want to test the lights before reassembly, does anyone know how to do this without reassembling everything including the airbag light? Is there a fuse I can pull?

Thanks Phil.

Phil, if it was me I wouldn't chance it. Put the assembly fully back together, reconnect the battery, and then test. It is not that bad a job. research the bulb options so you get it right the first time. IMHO.

Any particular reason that you want to replace with LED's? After redoing the tunnels, the standard bulbs work just fine for me.

no particular reason, just figured I would give them a try.

I just installed the carmagic kit. Couldn’t be happier. It comes with the reflective tape for the tunnels. Easy job. Look into carmagic. Used them for a few of my cars.

I merely used some LEDs from the local auto parts store by taking one of the old bulbs in and matching the base

I did have to unplug/replug the cluster a few times before the lights worked bc they had to be oriented in the connectors a certain way.

But the color and brightness after redoing the tunnels is amazing (for these old eyes).

Incandescent bulbs would have worked too but I like knowing LEDs won’t (usually) burn out.
