    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    just installed the 2825-W5W bulbs, and they are really brighter than the stock ones, i just put two in there since i lost the other four i bought, i coulndt find any silvania ones so i got GE ones i will buy some sivanias ones and see if there is any difference heres some before and after pics.(cameras just cant catch the difference)

    installation was really easy just had to remove the steering wheel(30 seconds)
    and remove the two screws on the housing(50 seconds)
    remove the harness(2 minutes)
    then remove old bulbs and insert new ones(3 minutes)

    total time about 7 minutes

    total cost .60 per bulb


    here is a pic the left side has the old ones and the right the new ones

    JMHO....5 watts is 5 watts,GE or Sylvania. They really make a brighter difference

    So the stockers are completely dark, and the new ones make it nearly possible to tell you have a gauge there?

    I've had a few
    I put them in my gauges and my side marker lights. Huge diffrence! I noticed when I bought mine that they also have blue xenon (sp?) bulbs that would fit. Anyone tried those?
