LED

Anyone know of a good place to find LED interior/exterior bulbs as a replacement for a 1998 Ford Expedition?

This info came from UKExplorerer on 10/22/10;
Update!
Tried some different LEDs. These: 2 X 8 SMD LEDS Xenon White T10 w5w 501 sidelight BULBS: eBay Motors (item 130421214021 end time Nov-13-10 04:02:23 PST)
Smoother light as they sit further away from the back of the dials. They also fit firmer in the existing bulb holders. I'm using these now as I prefer them.

I haven't tried hem yet but I intend to.

Mel,

Are these the ones used for the gauges? I have enough bulbs burned out now that I need to address it.

According to UKExplorer they are. I gave you the link, go there and read his posts. I thought the link to his post was there but it's only to the eBay site with the bulbs. You can search for his posts on 10-22-10 in the Explorer forum.

Nice, But I was thinking more along the lines of turn signals, tail lights, dome lights, etc...

If he did that the Chevy guys would accuse him of not being able to spell DORK. I don't think I would want that on my truck.
