well i didn't have the time to do it today.. maybe i wil try tomorrow... i did try to go out and buy the bulbs, but no auto part store around me carriers them...

also.. the only bulb that is out is the thermostat temp guage...

I would seriously just use #74 white LED's instead of more incandescent 2721 bulbs to burn out. They run cooler and draw very little power, and never burn out. They're available in almost any color for about $1 apiece. Get red if you want more red light. The light in the headlight switch is also a 2721 which I switched out for LED.

I have a 99 323is and I couldn't get my cluster out cause the steering wheel doesn't tilt. So let me know how you did it if you get it out, please.
