Default Odometer Display Back Lighting Out

I just noticed that at night the back lighting for the odometer/gear display is out. Does anyone know what bulb part number that is?

Thanks.

Turns out it's part number: YAW100020

Super expensive at $8 a piece!

I found a great site listing how to change every light in the Discovery 2: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery...ml#post1901528
I hope that helps others here.

If I'm not mistaken it's a Neo4/Neo5 size with a base and SuperbriteLeds is a good source for LED bulbs. Both my D1's gauge clusters look exquisite now at night with the type 6 74 4K LED's and the 2 Sylvania Zevo 5K LED bulbs. Odometer/trip area is no longer dim/dark/yellow.

I got this one https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...-car/223/1036/
It is very bright, I had to dim down it a bit with a series resistor. Otherwise it makes a nice green light, I like it much more than the stock bulb. Also, it will never blow out.

Thanks everyone. I just placed an order with SuperBrieghtLeds after confirming fitment with their tech support.
I hope the below information this helps folks in the future.

Instrument Cluster bulbs are:
Blue base is high beam p/n YAW100050 (1 ea)
Grey base is LCD backlight p/n YAW100020 (1 ea)
Brown base is gauge illumination p/n YAW100040 (3 ea)

LED alternatives:
YAW100050: https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...panel-led/709/
YAW100020 [pick the B8.4D]: https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...l-led-car/223/
YAW100040: https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...rofit-car/841/

For illumination I used 194-G5. They are very bright.
The 194-GHP5-PC might be too bright.

The other two (high beam, LCD) have to be dimmed down with a series resistor, otherwise they are annoyingly bright when driving in the dark. LEDs cannot be dimmed down enough with the dial, because the brightness control is made for incandescent bulbs.

For the LCD i used the B8.5D, because there is more space for a series resistor.

Do you recall what the Ohm value was of the resistor you used? I also want to dim these LED's down a bit.

Thanks.

It was several kOhms, I don't remember the exact value anymore. Without it was way to bright. You have to try it out yourself.

Have you received and installed these? Just curious how they came out. I need to replace mine as well. Thanks!
