where do i get capacitors?

Go to digikey.com

look for electrolytic radial 105c capacitors that match the value of the ones on the board.

I cost me $1.28 in parts and $9.85 shipping.

Took less than an hour to replace 5 of the suspect caps.

One of the board members had boughtmore than he needed and was selling a "kit" of all you need for $6 shipped. I bought a set but will be darned if my feeble mind will let me recall who it was. A frequent poster me thinks so perhaps will see your post.
Wish I were more help, will PM you if it comes to me.
EDIT fujioko is the guy

I bought the set of capacitors from fujioko and i noticed that only one of the capacitors matched the original capacitors, the one thats further on the right by itself.

Heres the lit of capacitors on my board:
(1)220pF 16v
(2) 22pF 40V
(2)220pF 10v

What i got were:
(1) 220vF 16v
(1) 1000vF 16v
(2) .22vF 50V
(1) 4.7 vF 100v

When I was putting back in cluster, the two connectors, the grey and white one were not connected and my right turn signal was on accidentally, at this time i noticed a small stream of smoke coming out of the cluster. and now the fuel, temp and check control screen with gear and odometer do not work. what happened here? i only replaced the one capacitor that matched values "220vF 16v" and one 22pF 40V with a .22vF 50V capacitor. Did i fry my cluster?

Maybe while soldering you put too much solder on that something was bridged?

I have yesterday changed on a cluster with grey backplate the capacitors.

There are 2 47mF 40 Volt and 3 220mF 16 Volt.
I have replaced them ALL with 35 Volt ones.
You just have to pay attention to the diameter, otherwise they do not fit, max. thickness/diameter of 10 mm is possible and NOT high than 16 mm.

The distance between the "feet/legs" of the capacitor should be 5 mm.

The ones I yesterday changed were 22mF, replaced now by 47mF,
the bigger the better.
In some clusters there are instead 47mF also 22mF installed, open your cluster then you see what is inside. Better are capacitors which can stand a temperature of 105° Celsius. Because in summer time the inside temperatures are hot (when car parked) and also the chips produce heat. That is accdg to my opinion the reasons why the capacitors dry up.
