Bubba mounted some led lamps on the dash of my '81 at some point in time. The holes need to be filled. They are 1/4" holes.
Any ideas on what to use to fill the holes?

I believe the dash is a form of polystyrene so you should be able to find plastic of the same thickness and cut plugs to fit. A good super glue should bond the plugs to the dash and then recover,
If you're just looking to sort of plug the holes you can usually buy caps for most standard LED, lamp and switch sizes, check with electronic supply stores
If you're looking to fill, sand and re-paint/dye. I've had some good results with the PC7 epoxy

Good advice gentlemen.
I'm going to plug them first with the body type plugs that M pictured in his post.
I'll see how it looks before doing any filling and sanding on the holes.
Craig
Mask around the holes, then fill with Bondo (polyester body filler). When getting firm, pull off the masking, use a slightly damp cloth to smooth the edges to blend with rest of the vinyl, and use a toothpick to etch in some 'faux' graining. Once hard, touch it up with matching vinyl dye. Looks like nobody touched it.
