I searched around but couldn't find anything on replacing the instrument lights with LEDs. I bought a couple new instrument bulbs from Pelican, but the light was yellowish, not the white of the OEM lights. On the other hand, the OEM lights are not that bright (ok, they barely illuminate the gauge).
I found these that look like they would be a direct replacement (the BA-7 model). Has anyone tried them? |

I have Red LEDs in my gauge cluster and console. They are Ok but I will eventually send the 3 gauges down to North Hollywood for a cosmetic tuneup. Adding extra bulb slots in them, similar to Dr. Evil's setup.
