RE: Huge Instrument Cluster Issue
Maybe we shoudl be trying to put together a group buy on new clusters to lower the price? It's pretty much a done deal that our clusters are going to go out, so alot of people need a new one. I know I do.

If my CEL happened to fall out, and I wanted to replace it with a resistor, what would I look for? Just, you know, if something were to happen.

RE: Huge Instrument Cluster Issue
The problem with bulbs is the filiment decreses in resistance as it gets hot. If I recall, it starts at about 120ohms cold then drops to around 5 ohms when hot.
I low ohm resistor (5) is best. Remember to get one with HIGH wattage (atleast 15 watts... but theres no need to go crazy with a 100watt either). It would really suck if your cluster started on fire. digikey.com is the best place to buy stuff like that.
