So I seen the post, MustangP51's LED conversion, he only did his gauges, which look great btw, heres the thread:

Im gonna do my whole dash, from the gauge cluster, to the lights in the 4wd, fog lights, rear wiper, and all those, soon the overhead lights too, those would be LED pods, or some pre-made LED strips.
Im gonna order the LEDs tomorrow, off eBay, like MustangP51 says, use the 194 SMD LED bulbs, none of the other ones can/will put out an even light pattern, your gauges would look like ****!
Soon, I would also like to get that green tint off there, and have the numbers and letters either clear, or blue.
One or more of the bulbs in my AC/HEAT controls is out too, so those are barely lit up; along with the bulbs in the 4x4 switch, rear wiper switch, and the rear defrost are all burnt out)
The gauge cluster uses 6 bulbs, 194 style.
Before pics:
(Its so dark, the gauges on my 92 are about twice as bright, these are brand new bulbs too...I forgot 2 of them , so thats why half the speedometers out)
Once I get my Sony headunit in there it'l brighten it up quite a bit, plus it'l make the LEDs look like more "matching" I guess you could say.
The 194 SMD leds are about 4-5$ a pair, usually free shipping, so this mod is ehh, 15$
Will keep you guys updated, and have tons of pics when its done.
