Has anyone replaced the standard indicator bulbs in the locker panel with LEDs?

Cheers

yes, the bulbs are identical to the ones used in the cluster I used on for general illumination as the incandescent had done some damage to the panel but left the incandescent and filled all of the spots for the indicator lights.

I did, using the bulbs that T3Pilot linked to.

Totally worth it, especially if you're already in there replacing one. I just did them all at once and never looked back Smile

If you are just using them for the general locker illumination that comes on with the headlights then they are the exact same as the instrument cluster LEDs.
If you are using them for the locker illumination make sure that you get the green ones, they are pretty bright though.
