Default The lamps have the same lifetime...

They tend to fail at roughly the same time.

When you replace the lamps, if you have an outside temperature display, be sure to remove the yellow connector on the back of the IC. There's a lamp underneath it.

The Autocheck needs 2 lamps. One is colored red. The other is colored yellow. The trip computer needs one regular white lamp. While you're in there, replace the rest of the lamps. They're all white.
I finally took out my instrument panel, and located most of the lights. Strange thing. I found the red and yellow bulbs, actually red and yellow plastic over the white bulbs, and they seem to be OK. However, the lights not always come on when I turn on the car. When it does come on, it shows the pads worn, in yellow, and it beeps. Once.
When it doesn't come on, I push the button to the left and it cycles through the symbols in red.

The trip computer however, has no light bulbs behind it at all. It even have these little stickies covering the holes. Also, there are 4 empty holes right behind the trio computer, not just one.

Any ideas? I am going to get some bulbs tomorrow, because two are burned out over the RPM and water temp, but should I buy some more to put them in those 4 holes behind the trip computer?

What color would go there? Blue, Green or Orange?

Thanks
