1999 F150 odometer bulbs
Does anyone have a diagram of the bulb types for each of the bulbs in the instrument cluster of a 1999 Ford 150 Instrument cluster?
I tested the bulbs that had gray bottoms but did not test the white bottomed bulbs or the anti-theft light. I wish I had looked at the anti-theft bulb ( Red bottom ) to see if it is really a LED.
I am also curious if anyone has replace the indicator bulbs ( turn signals etc. ) with LED's and if so, how do the LED's work when the cluster is dimmed?

The Red base of the anti-theft light looks larger than the others...
I got a listing from Sylvania that said 161, 194 and 37.
I looked at the 161 and 194 at Autozone today. They look too big to fit anywhere except maybe the Anti-Theft socket.
Do the bulbs plug into these bases?

The LED's will dim the same way the bulbs do, I just finished replacing my climate control backlighting with LEDS and it works great. Just curious, do you have a picture of the other side of the gauges or find out the bulb sizes. I am trying to swap out the illumination lights with LEDS. They are sometimes on the bulb itself. The bulb slides into the twist lock bases.
