LegacyBLitzen Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hi All, Would anyone know what the type of bulbs are in behind the dash. I have a 2000 Subaru Legacy (Import). My dash glows green when lit. Would they be a mix of T5 and T10 bulbs with crimped glass connector ends. How many of each would I need to do a full replacement ?. Also, How easy is it to remove the plastic to get at the Dash and take it out to replace bulbs. Any help would be great. It is an easy job to remove the trim to get the dashboard out without breaking anything, any help would be great ?. Pics even better. Thanks Guys.

doublechaz Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I often use https://www.superbrightleds.com/ to figure out what bulbs I need. Put in Year/make/model/trim and it shows everything. As to the dash details, I don't know, I have a 2nd gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyBLitzen Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Thanks for the link, It doesnt give and details as to what the Dash cluster uses as in, I just need to know if the ate T5 clear or Green bulbs that are crimped glass or are the T5 bulbs in those little plastic ends that you just twist in place. The Link is spot on for all of the bulb for everywhere else, so thank you for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Dang, I never noticed that they only show "user replaceable bulbs". That sucks. Couldn't say on what's in yours. I don't even know what's in mine as it's been too long. I know it wasn't the little rice grain things with a green condom that are in the climate control panel.

LegacyBLitzen Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 It is a pain in the ass for sure. I think the bulbs that are in behind the dash are T5 but I dont know how many and if they are all white and some green. I might just buy a box of clear and a box of green to make sure im covered. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyBLitzen Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 It is one car where alot of the dash has to be removed to even get to the dial cluster. Thanks for the link xrayspecs, much appreciated. Ill have to build up the patience in wanting to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Wow, if my car was that hard to do I probably would have just bought another car instead of changing the bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyBLitzen Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 I had a 2005 Ford Mondeo ST and that was as easy as it gets to change the cluster bulbs. Now for a 22 year old Subaru, I have to remove the full plastic dash. Ill have to build myself up to it. Ill get around to it. I just want to have all the bulbs that it needs , Ill keep it as standard Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
