Ok, did the LED swap on my gauge cluster, was hard to see the difference in the day. Went out after dark and noticed my needles don't light up now. None of them including the Gear selector. Any thoughts? Going to take it back out again this weekend.:think:

OK FYI Everyone... Put the old bulbs back in and the needles light up. I had bought green LED replacements and did nor generate enough light to illuminate the needles. I going to order bright white LED's to put in and see if that works.

Any chance you could link where you got instructions for this? Or is there a How-To I haven't found yet??
As trivial as it seems, I want to switch all my green to a Red White or Blue, because 'Merica.. No really the green just looks dated in my opinion is why

yes I too am interested. My dash is impossible to read in strong sunlight.
Any way to brighten up would be great.
