They work great but, you will lose the ability to dim the lights. LEDs will turn off when voltage is reduced where incandescent bulbs will dim.

I just did it on mine, my whole dash is blue, I didn't put them all in as they would be too bright, I used 3 in the center console and 5 in speedo console
