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. 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 |

I have these 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 .... This message has been edited by mslc10 on 12-21-2017 at 09:07 PM |

Are these LED's dimmable using the factory dimmer control? |

quote: 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... |

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.
