Led dash light changes

OK I want to be clear on changing the little bulbs for tach…speedo…1988 xjs

  1. Remove cover over bulbs and simply replace in proper polarity.
  2. Do I understand that it is that simple ?
  3. Can someone give me the bulb numbers that work best ?
  4. What about color of bulb.
  5. Is there anything else affected by the change.?
    TRYING TO KEEP THE CONVERSATION VERY SIMPLE

ok…are my other thoughts correct on this …just change the bulbs

If I remember, piece of cake. Remove rubber boots that give regular bulbs their color, pop out old ones from behind, pop in new ones. I can’t remember if the polarity was important or not - I supplied a 12V lantern battery to the correct leads to see if they all worked or not.

I prefer blue, so chose blue.

ok… now do I have to loosen up guage cluster .or…reach up from behind…I just never have done this on the jag…where are the bulbs…there are a bunch of miniatures up on top in the front but I assume the gauges bulbs are down and behind…can you just give me the procedure …all I care about is the speedo and tach.

I totally removed instrument cluster from vehicle. Only way to reach them.

alright that’s what I wondered…that sounds like more than I want to do…hardly drive anywhere at night anymore…that kind of work goes against my short attention span and stiff neck (I’m almost 75)
