Indicator Lights

[LunaEros]

Do the warning indicator lights in the instrument clusters (mine's an 02) use bulbs or are the surface mount LEDs on the circuit board?

Bulbs.
5 beeps 5 times means the bulb or circuit is out for the SRS warning light.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting. I'm just wondering if the light is an actual bulb I can replace or if it's some surface mounted LED that I'll have to pull the whole cluster apart to fix.

Bulbs.
...

Thought I was clear. Incandescent bulbs in the normal twist in/out plastic bulb holders. You do have to do some disassembly to get to them.

Is it the same in mine? Mine's an '02. I didn't happen to run across a diagram for them like that in my shop manual.

The same. I ordered some t5 wedge base led from Amazon ....if they ever arrive
