Mitsubishi Montero Gen 2.5 Dash, Console, and Interior LED Bulb Replacement
Just adding to the knowledge base and attempting to consolidate threads.
Here's what I did to replace my interior lights with LEDs (I used red bulbs).

Purchase...
Thanks for this trying to figure out which bulb or leds I need.
I know some are T5 or T10
Is there a list of each individual bulb?
Do I need to get specific colours as well?
I've swapped out about eight from the two 99 model Escapes I've had. They're just little globes in the back of the dashboard, none of them were LEDs, just standard incandescent globes. Easy to remove the dashboard, two screws up high at the front and one over the back, near the windscreen behind a little plastic cover. Use a small screwdriver to lever the cover up and out of the way. Look for the slot at the edge of the cover though. Next, disconnect the wiring. On my cars there are four connectors, two on each side of the dashboard. Unplug them and the dashboard comes out.
I picked up a whole lot of the globes and globeholders from a wrecked vehicle. They've come in VERY handy. Earlier model Gen 2 Pajeros appear to have the same dashboard setup so they're an option too.
The globes should be available from Auto stores eg. Repco or Supercheap Auto but I haven't checked. When I run out I"ll just get a whole pile more from another wrecked vehicle.
