Re: Instrument light level improvement - my story

Quote:
Wonder if anyone has used LEDs as replacements for the existing lights or installed 1, 2 or 3 LEDs through small holes drilled in the bezels, for example?
I have red LEDs in mine and they look awsome, when they are all lit at the same time. Dont use the ones with the flat top on them, they dont shine the light straight out so it doesnt light up the guages well. They have a problem with staying on but I think its the sockets, not the bulbs that are causing it. I will check at work tomarow to see what brand the good ones are that I have in it. They are just 194 LEDs.

Im going to do this next time my dash is appart.
