1980 Center Console Direct LED Replacements
Hello
I recently removed the center console to take the radio out to be rebuilt. As long as it’s out, I’d like to replace all the bulbs with LEDs. All I’ve been able to find are bright white or amber yellow. Is there a source for soft white that will duplicate the original look?
Thanks

I used warm (3000K) LEDs from SuperBrightLEDs.com when I did this a few years ago. There should be better options on their site, including bi-directional LEDs, so you don't need to keep track of the grounds.
Do the overhead festoon light, too. It makes a huge difference.

No, I do not. I pretty much exhausted my knowledge of this by posting the link :-) .
I Know there are more than a few folks on here with encyclopedic knowledge of what you are searching, but I am not one of them.
Do a search about "LED lights" and "LED Console lights/bulbs" on the site. I do know there is some good info on here in more than a few threads.
Good Luck and Have a Blast.
