I don't recall anyone doing an LED swap here. We did at one point have a really great LED thread going.

Am finding lots of stuff out there tho'-- start reading

I've used LED's for different things over the years and you can buy them from an electronics store way cheaper than getting them already made up for what you are installing. If you do go this route, you need to put a 1k resistor on the positive side (anode) of the led. The white ones are pretty harsh, especially if you are using a bunch of them so maybe think about putting one blue one in the dash to tone it down a bit. Should be bright and cool. I'll probably do this as well at some point. I'm slowly losing mine, one by one.
