Default Anyone replace their gauge cluster bulbs?

I was wondering if anyone has replaced their gauge cluster speedometer bulbs with LED bulbs. The stock Honda part number for the bulbs are 34908-MAS-G01 and it says that there are 9 required. If anyone has done a DIY LED retrofit please let me know where you got the bulbs from.
Thanks,
Josh

I did on my 01 VFR, changed them to LED's (555 wedge base) cool white, but they are actually blue looking. I like them alot. The bulbs came from a pinball supply store (my other hobby) Check them out at www.pinballlife.com

Dude I changed mine to bright white leds. The backing of the gauges kept it the same color you have except for the odometer. The odometer changed to bright white but that was it ................

Not sure on the part number, when your over 40 you can't read print that small. They are like a wedge base bulb like a 194 or 68 in the auto section of Walmart. I was replacing about half of the bulbs on the VFR gauge and just pulled out my pinball machine LED collection. Other advantages to LED's are they pull less current and will last longer than regular bulbs. Since I didn't do my CBR listen to others, if it didn't change the color and that is why your changing the bulbs then may be a waste of your time. You may want to check out the CBR different color gauges they have on ebay for cheap. Just an insert over your gauge to change the color.

dmcb2120 do you have an F4? If so what bulbs did you use. It seems like the bulbs on the F4 guages are not a standard size. I may be wrong but the diagram for the F4 looks like it is a Honda specific bulb.

I used some 3mm LEDS and just put them into the housing that the regular bulbs are in.
