New dash lights
The gauge lights on my 77 were dim even with new replacement bulbs. I decided to go with LEDs. Man what a PITA it is to change out the speedo/tach bulbs... and who'da thunk they would use different bulbs there compared to the center cluster.

I used these for the dash:
and these for the center cluster:
To tell you the truth I didn't even try to dim them.

I did it outside in the driveway. I'm an amateur and haven't worked on cars for years. It could be done start to finish in 4 hrs. I did not do the kick panels or dome light. I left them white. I also left the turn indicators and engine lights white. The only ones I put blue in were the "background" lights. It takes 4 each for the speedo/tach, then 1 per instrument in the center cluster.
