LED Instrument Cluster Light Swap...anyone got a picture?
#16
i did this swap a few months ago. I love it, but i have one problem since i've replaced the bulbs. The one on the right side of the dash showing the temp and volt meter, will randomly go on and off. It will go out for a mile or two, then come back on for a mile, then go out for a little more...etc. Does anyone know why it does that? I checked the connections on the back and don't see any tears in the circut paper, or lose bulbs. any ideas? I did however go with the blue. It matched my aftermarket radio, and i love them when they are all lit.

I had the 1 LED bulbs in my 78 and loved them! They are brighter than the stockers, if you remove the light filter. I dont understand why the dimmer wouldnt work, it worked on mine? Then again I only replaced the bulbs for the cluster light, and turn signals.

I got mine off of ebay in a lot of 12 I think for about 10 or 11 bucks. Pretty good deal. I think that this was them:
Short Round 1 L.E.D. T10 Wedge LED Light bulb - Automotive LED Lights - LEDLight

I just bought my LED's saturday (only the two illumination bulbs) and I'll be installing them today after I get off work. I was going to take a before picture last night but the lights were so dim they didn't even show up on the camera screen. The only ones they had at the store were Amber. So I'm leaving the covers in place and hoping yellow and blue make green. LOL even if it doesn't make green it'll still be brighter than what I had. I got the ones with 4 LEDs.

I've been hunting for a thread about this LED conversion. I just swapped out all my incandescent 194 bulbs out with the 5 led replacements. I tested them all with a 9v battery to make sure they worked and then installed them. Problem is none of them are coming on except the top light that lights up the little blue light about the speedo. Any suggestions here?
