LED light kit for dash
I’m getting ready to put my dash back together after bringing it back to life. Has anyone converted to LED bulbs? Wondering if this is something I should do? Thanks

It's really a personal preference, lots of people have changed it would seem
Light color options, lower power draw on 50 year old wiring, longer life span (in theory), cooler (if that matters)
vs
Somewhat directional lighting, usually loose the ability to dim them, possibly some fitment issues until you get the right ones, availability
Superbright LED is a decent source

LED's helped all my dash lighting, but what really made the big difference on my car at least, was painting the inside (backing) of the tach and speedo white.
Even with new bulbs they just were not bright enough till I did this.

Make sure to buy the Non Polarity LEDs from Superbright LED. Also get the correct color for each indicator ie. green for turn signals, red for parking brake indicator, blue for high beam indicator etc.
