Not 100% sure but it may just use a neo-wedge type bulb, if so very easy to replace. Every color under the sun, and cheap. Most bulbs are under $3.00

Sounds to good to be true !!! :lol: Have you or anyone else pulled the dash and seen the bulb before?? :excuseme:

AFAIK there are leds inside! if you get some SMD leds from lets say blue VW dash maybe you can solder those in your drz dash

It is very tricky to do. If you are not familiar with soldering SMD components, you should not attempt it.

Be sure to know what you do, the odometer is expensive. Dealer changed mine and it was something like 800$

Dang, I seen the thread title and I to was hoping it was just a bulb change.

just change to a vapor...much easier and has the blue light already there

Vapro???? I'll try a search on that one. I'm guessing a aftermarked dash.

yep, trailtech vapor. Aftermarket dash/computer. Available at the thumpertalk store. Blue backlight, also has a tach, engine temp gauge, ambient temp gauge, odo, and stopwatch, etc.
