LED Instrument Bulb Replacement
Hi all,
I completed an LED instrument cluster bulb replacement today and wanted to share a couple photos. I had researched this on the forum and found some threads that stated LED's were not bright enough, but didn't find any examples to provide visual comprehension.
I used 4 Sylvania "LEDriving bulbs. I actually like the way the dash looks, while it is a bit "whiter" than with the traditional bulbs I find it plenty bright enough to be functional.
Anyway, everyone has their personal preference but for those who are considering LED upgrades perhaps this visual will help.
Thanks again,
Phil

LOL, I was wondering if anyone would comment on that. I took the photo right after I completed putting the dash back together and ECM reset. Believe it or not, my ECM was telling I was doing 28-30 on highway with my new 383, of course I have the 2.73 gears for that came with a convertible before the reset.

As for the costs, I think they were basically 13 bucks a piece at advanced auto parts. You could probably ebay them for less, but I like immediate satisfaction so I pay extra when i get in the mood to go fix something. Doh!!!! :
