Gauge cluster w/ LEDs

[JDegenerate]

Update on my previous post. Got these LEDs and I'm very happy with the results. The gauges look much better, the dimmer works, they don't interfere with visibility at night - they're great. Oh, and now I have a working odometer and my speedometer doesn't read 12mph over.

Cool

It wasn't so bad, was it?

Congrats!

Not perfect, but damn good, and better than 99% of the LED dash cluster conversion pics I've seen.

Do they dim completely, and which LED's did you use? Any mods to the mylar backing, or plug and play?

Thanks! The LEDs dim pretty low, they are of course still brighter than the incandescents at the lowest setting but they won't hurt your eyes at all. In fact, I keep them on max and it doesn't bother me a bit. I didn't mod a thing, either - plug and play! If the link doesn't work properly, I used Yorkim T10 LEDs from Amazon - $10 for 10 LEDs and they all work flawlessly. I installed another 2 in the backseat dome and they look great there, too.

Very tempting, especially for a buck a piece. Question is, do I really want to remove all those 7mm and 8mm bolts again? Although not too difficult, biggest PITA is getting the shroud back on without scratching my non tilting steering column.

Yep, looks great! I would not go back to incandescent bulbs.

Well done.
