Are you including the warning bulbs and turn signals/high beams, etc.

Figured we could get a number in here so if somebody want to go LED they can have an idea what they are looking at in quanity and cost.

And the one in the upper right hand corner (behind the gas gauge) has a special base. It has a fiber optic cable attached to it that leads over to the ashtray.

I guess it is to provide a night light to help locate the cigarette lighter.
