So I'm converting my interior LEDs from orange to white using lbz's guide and have a question about some of the warning lights.
My wiper fluid light seems to have gone out, and my high beams light and cruise control light do not look how I would like them to (they're too faint), so I want to replace them when I replace the others, but I'm having trouble telling which LEDs belong to which signal.
Also, if anybody can tell what type of LED (PLCC-2, 0805, etc.) that would be super helpful!
I've attached a picture to show the ones that I think belong to each of the signals I want to change, as well as a template for the gauge cluster that shows where the signals are. Ignore the LEDs circled in white -- only focus on the red circles.
Thanks guys.

go to http://www.eric-white.net for the PDF version of the procedure. The PDF does not include all the posts from various members of the forum.
Page 3 has a full table that describes all the LEDs and which boards they go on as well as tips on finding the LEDs on ebay.
All the LEDs on the speedo / tach board are PLCC-2. The board has 4 pads for each LED while the LED's I got off ebay only had two contacts. I just offset the position of the LED so the contacts only covered two of the pads, worked fine. This is described in detail in the procedure. I have some white PLCC-2's laying around. If you need some, PM me your addy and I'll send
Looks to me like you have the right locations circled.
Feel free to PM me if questions.

Yeah I've already done the doors in white (window buttons and lock/unlock buttons) and I'm going to be wrapping everything in CF Di-Noc since I'll have it all pulled. Maybe I'll just make up a picture thread with all my progress
