Ive been trying to replace the bulb on the little plastic connector that lights up the ring around the cigarette lighter, but its soldered to the connector pins...im sure i can rig something up, but is there any easier way? or a place where i can buy this part other than the dealer for $20?

i just ended up getting it at the dealer...funny thing is, i went to a different dealer and the price was only $16. not $20 like the other place told me...but instead of just the bulb or the adaptor, i had to get the whole clip...i should be picking it up today hopefully. Ill post back about the part # and let you guys know if it was the right part.

I'm not sure how much it varries between the '92-'93's and the '94-'96's but IIRC, I took a 194 LED and literally removed the entire tail of it, and soldered the contacts in.

I know this may not be the easiest of things to do, but it works.

I hope ^^ works
I like the white lights in the dash and around the ignition

tried to pm but your inbox is full, how much of what you did can i accomplish with out a saudering gun?
sorry, I'll clean it out. I haven't been on these forums in a while, so I guess it had gotten kinda stock-piled up.

I'd suggest going out and buying at least a little radio shack soldering iron. it'll come in handy. :)
