What did you DO to that poor thing??

 

[swisherred]

Ive always hated the dim yellow lights in the old dashes. Could never see anything at night. When I rebuilt the dash I installed led strip lighting inside the cluster. Nothing is modified other than a small hole for the wire in the back of the cluster.

Hopefully you've got a way to dim those bright lights, so that just the luminescent numbers/letters float on the satin black background? HID projector beam headlight glare is bad enough.

Just some thoughts,

Took bright, can't see the road

It seems distractingly bright. Is it less intense in person? I don't think I could see the road. I like the original better, but to each his own. This is my '68.

Less intense in person..and they dim with the dimmer.

I hate how dim my panel is and even tried LED bulbs still too dim. In the middle of rewiring the whole thing with a kwikwire kit and always looking at led strips rather than the current set up for the same reason haha

Looks cool, nice that you didn't alter irreversibly and that they adjust with the dimmer.

Now you just need multi color capability.

I'm glad it's dimmable.

I need to do the same. My dash lights barely do anything. I want to keep the car as close to OEM as possible, and I'm looking for 6500k color temperature bulbs...slightly blue but not tuner-car dash blue. Anybody have LED sourced they've had good luck with?
