I have a 2001 Altima instrument panel bulb burned out. What is the replacement bulb/LED that I should use? I prefer LED

LED and normal filament bulbs are designed differently and interchanging them does not work for illuminations. You should replace with equivalent type of bulb.

If the original bulbs are filament, it is not going to work with LED as the meter is not designed to illuminate correctly with LED.
