Re: led bulbs for the dash?

I have a question about polarity...can you put them either way or do you have to be polarity concious to get them to work?

Re: led bulbs for the dash?

They have to go a certain way but I swapped mine out with the cluster installed still so if they don't work just flip it over

Re: led bulbs for the dash?

I've used LED's from Super Bright for my Sierra. Price was decent and arrived fairly quickly. And polarity does matter on LED's, and if you want the dash to dim, up the resistor in the dimmer switch
