Default Instrument light bulb size Stratus R/T 2002...Wanting an engine swap

I have a Dodge Stratus R/T 2002 and I am looking to change the instrument light to a blue one or some other color than the stock. I am having a hard time finding the bulb size out.


The other question I am looking at doing an engine swap. I want to possible do a twin turbo set up but I am not sure what size and the all the other parts needed to do this.

Bulbs are 194. Get them at superbrightleds.com You have to pry the needles off, pull the gauge faces off, get the film on the back off (its greenish)then put it all back. Its a total PITA.

Twin turbo ehh? Save your money.

Here is the long awaited single setup. Big things should come of this if all goes according to plan. There is a lot of time and money in this motor.






Most kits have to be one off, custom made.

Thats not my car. I'm not really sure how much is in that car though. I know he does all of his own work though.

Question

Sorry for the thread necro, but I figured it was better than starting a new one. I have a 2003 Stratus R/T coupe and also wanted to change the bulbs in the cluster. The 2003 has a different dash than the 2002 and wanted to ask if the procedure was the same.

Im also interested in getting an Intelliglow needle kit so I figured I would do both mods at the same time. (http://www.importcarpartsplus.com/Needles.htm)

NVM. Found a guide here http://www.2gstratus.org/forums/inde...howtopic=31352

Well, you found it, but yeah the 2003-2005 are LEDs that are on a circuit board.

so there is no other way like taking it apart from the backside of the instrument panel. i just don't wanna mess with the needles or the film, if i mess up i don't wanna have to buy a new panel... thanks, i really want to do this mod but i don't know if i wanna go through all this trouble.... and another way i just thought of is buying a separate panel and mod it the just switch the panels, would this work?
