Here's what I used (Elite series factory color):
1961-79 Ford Truck & Bronco LED Gauge Light Conversion Kits - HiPo Parts Garage



Those kits have bulbs and really good installation diagrams for the cluster itself (including turn signal indicators and warning lights). I also bought a couple extra individual "warm white" bulbs from them for the wiper/lights, heater control, and shifter illumination.

Yes, over a limited range. As soon as they turn on at all, they're probably over half the maximum brightness, but they are dimmable over the top half of the range.

Here's the "blue" set. I have a little bleed over to the turn indicator lights, but it's not as bad as the picture indicates. Just haven't had time to dig into it and fix.





New LEDs
