Dash lights
Okay so Im a newbie but I figured out not to ask before I search so I wont ask how to replace the dashlights I got that covered (hope I dont bust something doing it) but the dealer just told me there are 16 lights in the dash console and they cost from $17 a light to $43 and it will cost around $150 to replace them all. Dam is this correct???? Can I get them from somewhere else besides the dealer?

I will take one today they look sweet, kind of old school mess BBS but not as tight will get something posted today. Next in line is shocks and springs then to Butler tire for the 120mph on car wheel balance (getting a little shake at 45-50 and right at 93 but it goes away at 95) but I thought Id wait on the balance until I get the suspension done. Anyone have a suggestion for the shock/spring setup Id like to lower it about 1.25 inches but still have a fairly stock feel to the ride nothing to bumpy.....
Also one last question and I'll stop buggin ya'll, would like to get a body kit and wondering what kind of $$$'s it will set me back less paint.
PS. cant find that instrument bulb repair kit on ebay any ideas???? I guess I can pull the dash and just replace the burnt out lights I figured Id just get them all but $150 is halfway to a new set up springs
