@jlocster thanks for taking the time to put together the resource for LED swaps. This is probably one of my all-time most-referenced threads on the web.

And I'm pleased to share that I've finally done all the LEDs. Still working on my fiber optic headliner with custom red/white reading LED fixtures for the second row, but it's getting there.

(Mitsubishi sign is tapped into the key surround.)

Looks great man!

Thanks for the write-up! Anyone know if these bulbs also pertain to a Gen 1 (1991)?

Question: do ALL the idiot lights in the dash turn on when you turn the ignition? In my 2.5, the only light on the right side that turns on is the red SRS light. I have replaced all the lights with LEDs (and experimented to orient them correctly) but the check engine, oil, etc do not light up.

I want to know if I should bother tracing where it is failing if I shouldn't expect them to light up in the first place.

This is what normally turns on on key on in a 1999 gen 2.5
