Cluster led part numbers?

I got a bad led on my cluster that I am looking to replace them all. The 60 to 80mph led is pretty much shot.

I've looked through some threads and found some part numbers but looks like I cannot find them such as they seem obsolete.

LW TVSG.CB-CLM1C-WKW
LWT673

Does anybody know of any other part numbers (white) that may work for replacement?

I'd be curious on this as well, as I've thought of replacing my surface mount LEDs. IIRC, the part number from Mouser was an obsoleted part, so NLA.

One additional resource might be "ClustersByLitke" on Facebook. They specialize in cluster upgrades and repairs, and may have some ideas regarding the best LED's to use.

Or buy the cheapest cluster on eBay or at the junkyard and you'll have a ton of spare LEDs.

I thought about going this route too. I was also thinking of getting an ECU with immo delete with a temporary cluster while ClustersByLitke repairs my old one

Or I get cluster from junkyard or eBay and use the tool someone posted here to grab the pin and transfer the data to the new cluster.

Or do what gmenounos and grab a bunch of spare led from a junkyard cluster

The idea of getting a junkyard/eBay cluster for the LED's isn't a bad idea, but my worry would be that the LED's on the donor cluster would be just as old as the ones on your current cluster. It seems like there's at least a small chance you'd just end up in this cycle all over again.

I've bought probably over 50 used clusters and never noticed any LEDs that didn't work.

I must have 10 never-gonna-get-used clusters sitting in my garage; for whatever shipping costs (I'd guess around $20?), I can send you the PCB with all of the SM LEDs on it.

I have a FIS cluster in my current car (from Germany - probably 15yrs ago), where the "clicker" and green LED for the left turn are super-super-faint (can't see it at all in daytime; can just barely see a glow at night).
Turn signals work perfectly, though.

PO took too many left turns. :)

That would be dope! Let me know how much and I'll I'll take care of the shipping and send you a UPS label
