There was a solution posted below IF you want amber, green or red lighting on your instruments. I like white light myself. I have tried the bulk LED's for Radio Shack with add-on resistors and did not like the results. I ordered a different style white LED's from oversea's with a 194 base already on them, the results was an improvement with the lighting being white and not the normal incandesent yellow tint, but not bright enough so everyone would be sadisified with the result. I then ordered some different focus (narrow vs. wide) LED's still not enought light. So now I looking into a multipal LED config. I think people want bright...not just brighter...if you want color, your solution is listed below in this thread. Ultimately, I hope to make a really bright white light configuration that will be dimable down to where you want it. And the system will replace the standard lighting that is in place now....Still no broken tach in my collection so the solution for that is not final yet either. Also, I want to make the lighting level fairly equal across the gauges...I'm working on it in my spare time, and with the driving season drawing to a close...more time will be available when the snow flies...UPDATE: Looks like Mitch from Vintage Upgrades & Performance has the missng instruments available for me...
