Default Bulbs

The little green back lit bulbs that are in the dash and steering wheel, can I get those anywhere other than the dealership?

Any auto parts store has them. Their just regular wedge base 37/74 bulbs. The green comes from a tint on the cluster itself

Wait when you say steering wheel do you mean the cruise control buttons? I missed that when I read it the first time.

Yeah exactly, the small panel to the right on the steering wheel. I tilted the cover up and pulled a little bulb with a blue base that is green on the bulb part. I've tried radio shack and a couple auto parts stores with no luck.

Idk about that. You'll have to look for 3mm bulbs. Mine had a green rubber-ish cover over the bulbs to make them green.

The cluster takes takes a 37/74 style bulb. You can get those anywhere. Just a small wedge base bulb
