All of my interior lights came from superbrightleds.com. Great company. I've ordered alot of stuff from them over the years. My marker and back ups are from them too.

Agreed. I've gotten all mine from them in the past.
How is your dimmer function?

There is a plastic plug in the back. If I remember right it's a half turn counter clock wise and pull. I believe I used the same bulbs as the dash too.

It works but very limited. Dims by maybe a quarter.

Hmm
I'll let you know how this new set does.
I've only used exterior and dome till now.
Curious to see how much brighter they are for my old peepers.

I think it says the economy offers no dimmer function, the next level offers some, and the highest offers full dimmer functionality...

Yeah we got that.
Just curious if it's real world full functionality. Only testing will tell, so I stepped up since I would like brighter light anyway.

Ok, just got finished installing the HiPo Parts LEDs in my dash.
It could not have been any easier.
Over all impression is favorable, not ecstatic, but favorable.
The gauges are brighter and the light is much nicer and readable, which after all is what I was after.
It's probably not what you guys that want color are looking for. But us older guys will like it.
The dimmer function is very good. Just like stock.
Here is the kit.

Just match your part number up with the appropriate drawing and stick 'em in.

Each bulb is marked on the positive side.

Here's how it looks. The pics obviously don't do it justice but I included them so you could see that while not BRIGHT, they are brighter.

BTW, my turn indicators are now beautiful. Instead of looking like the gel was burned through, they are even and deep green. And bright.
