I remember they were similar to this.
Although some bulbs have a longer neck holding the bulb it self(the ones lighting the controls). The two bulbs lighting the info screen are similar to the one on the pic.
btw what type leds did you use... i think i saw a site that had leds with 360 degree lighting angles.

yup.. the bulbs sort of look like that with long necks...
The LED's I used are 4000 MCD's.... so they are bright.. the only thing is that they don't have the 360 degree.. I definitely would be interested in the 360 degree LED's...

Well i'm not quite sure about the size leds you used, but here's the superbrightleds.com website listing of their bulbs. 360 degree ones are available i 5 and 8 mm.. might be a bit big to fit, but i believe you cut some of the board out on your previous posts. I like your mod and might do the same to mine once i find a spare cluster.
link - http://www.superbrightleds.com/leds.htm
Hope this helps
Edit - i'm guessing the leds are quite large to the ones you used.. but i'm not sure.. maybe a wider viewing angle could help more on lighting issues.
Edit 2 - The inverted lens leds would be a good too.

That looks like the same size bulb they use for the glove box. size 64 or something like that?

If you can find a wider view angle, that will help with the hot spots that you see. The leds you have now, most like likely have something like 10 or maybe 15 degree viewing angle.

Wasn't sure about the glovebox bulb size so i stuck my head in there to check.
The bulb aren't the same. i believe they are #73/74 in a twist lock base.
I'll yank out my hvac controls in a min to give some pics of the bulbs.

the Gauges were LED's soldered in... they are little squares... with round mirror bases and a tiny dot... like cellphone LED's.... so that's how come I'm not too excited yet to mess around with my gauges...

Anyone ever replace - or want to replace - the bulb/led light source in the driver's side door panel (lights up = AUTO) ?
That switch is SOOOOO hard to read at night after taking your eyes of a well lit road, it's impossible to see. I'd like to replace that light with something ALOT brighter and NOT orange.

yea i am thinking of replacing that one to something brighter, i took apart the switches and it should be a real easy switch, just gotta find a small bright led
also what size are the turn signal bulbs you used, wouldnt mind replacing those to blue, and how hard was it to take the dash apart?
thanks
