Below is White and Green together so that I could make a side-by-side comparison (no silly, I'm not going to leave it like that!): The halo is from my camera since the garage was pitch black, they are not really that bright. Thoughts / feedback here? What do you think? This message has been edited by Dano on 12-21-2017 at 07:42 PM And they include the one for the tach. I like the blue especially when I run my windsupressor on blue! Note: you cannot dim them all the way down ....

It also looks like i'd be going backwards ! I put the white in. Two sets were required. It depends on how you define 'dimmable': Do they dim like the factory lamps? Definitely not. Do they dim a bit? Yes. Funny thing though, the LEDs in the speedometer dim more than the rest. Strange... 1- how hard was it to pull out the dash? 2-where exactly did you put in the bulbs? 3-is to put in the bulbs?

[/B]Dano Since I have the dash apart from diagnosing the AC blower door issues, I figured that I would play with LED lighting for my dash. At this point it is as simple as changing some bulbs. I tried red, blue, green, yellow, and white. I was very surprised that the colors I thought would look good actually looked the worst and the colors that I thought would look bad actually looked the best. Red looked like there was almost no lighting at all. Blue blended in with the blue on the instruments looking very dull and somewhat dark. Yellow just looked totally weird.
Now below is all white:
I think that the white looked the best. It really makes the blue in the instrument 'pop' and look alive.ed monahan You need to get gas, the gauges are not all that accurate. lol Glad I could help.
I agree the white looks the best.mslc10 I have these StingRay green looks retro like from an old car cluster .... white looks nice Run Red Yes White looks the BEST! Richnew41 I did blue on mine and love it but now seeing the white its even better..
Thanks for posting..padroo LED lighting sure have changed things, I like the white also. nmjayhawk Dano, Which LEDs did you buy? I like the white. stevedymo In a search, some of the members have used:

thanksDano Thanks to all, and I agree - the white looks better. So I went with white. Now I need to do the A/C panel (not sure of how to get those lamps changed), the tach, and the shifter bezel.
Easy, very easy...once you do it it is easily repeatable. Getting the instrument cluster is a few screws, two connectors, 1 bracket, and you are done. When replacing the lamps, notice that there is 1 hidden underneath the circuit board for the speedometer. I missed that one and had to re-do it.
In the same spots that the factory bulbs were at. It is a PIA because LEDs have polarity that must be correct. If not, they will not light. What I did was install them and the ones that did not light were in backwards. I reversed those and they all lit.
Unsure the request here, but I think I going to interpret this: 'the egg nog is really good but I think I put in too much rum. [/b]
BTW I these are T10 lamps. I originally ordered T5 and they are way too small.Silverado yes too much egg nog with rum
easy to put in the bulbs?quote:
