So at the request of a couple of you guys, this is how you replace the gauge cluster bulbs in your bike
1. Remove fairings use kkim's DIY thread http://www.kawiforums.com/ninja-250r/110849-lets-get-nekkid.html
2. To remove the front cowl begin by pushing in the black circular rivets at the bottom of the cowl using a small Flathead or a pen.
3. Next remove the bottom two screws that hold the windshield on to the front cowl
4. Remove the screws that hold the cowl to the sides of the frame.
5. Now the front cowl will be able to be pulled away from the bike and you will be able to remove the headlight plugs (you can reach through the area and unplug them first if you want too)
6. Remove the bulbs from the gauge housing (The ones you need to replace are labeled in the pic). It is kind of hard to do so what I did was push the boot to one side with my fingers and then attempted to pull it out in a twisting circular motion. Or you can grab the middle of the boot with needle nose pliers and do the same but do it gently you want your fingers to take most of the work of pulling it out.
7. Next place your led bulb in the housing and test that it lights up by turning the bike to the on position. If it doesn't light then you need to flip it the other way around. I got 6000k white leds from vleds. The bike uses 194 type wedge base bulbs.
This is the bulb:2 HID 6K WHITE SMT 5 LED LIGHT BULBS 194 168 158 2821 Link may not work sometime in the future so its a 5 LED SMT bulb
EDIT: there seems to be some stuff on this latter in kkim's thread so read it
