Id like to swap out the stock white bulbs in the guages for blue ones, but i cant seem to find any of the stock bulbs to compare the new ones i wana get. Anyone know where i can get stock bulbs or aftermarket blue ones from?

Ive heard of people using LEDs, but id rather stick with bulbs for now, im not deperate enough yet lol.

Thanks

I couldn't find any photos, but this thread discusses part numbers:

You need 194 LEDs

Why do you think you need to be desperate to use LED's?

They save on power consumption and as far as I can tell, have no downsides.  And they look GREAT!

Mine look great, and were only a few bucks each.  I used the 5 LED ones listed in the wiki. HERE> http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Upgrades/LEDIndicators

These are direct fit and cause no issued.  Issues come when you try to use them in the turn signal circuits.

Cheers!

EDITED: To fix my poor spelling.

I didnt realize LEDs were i direct fit!... so all i need is a typical 194 style wedge LED??? those are a direct plug and play?

Absolutely.  Direct plug & play.  The only time you would have issues is if yuo try using them in the turnsignals themselves (not enough load for flasher) or in the turn signal indicator light (yellow light on cluster) because a diode (led is a diode) will only allow current to flow one direction, and because of the design of the GS t/s circuit, it needs to be able to flow either way, which a regular bulb is good at.

Have fun!

I changed mine a few days ago.  Thde LEDs are not quite as bright, but look way better
