Can barely see my guages,even at night

I will be installing some of the colored 5 LED's I had left over for my Monte in my stock Regal dash, it should brighten it up well based on what I see in Onehit's dash.

A lot of cool options out now with the led technology....Looks like I might be making an upgrade in the future. I couldn't find the pic of my cluster lit up at night, but these are the blue autometer leds in my sport comp gauges.

I used this link to make the dash lights in my 84 & 87 caminos great ! I think the major part was to improve the reflection coefficient of the face plate is to paint the rear of it with a highly reflective paint.

Led setup, you can get the bulbs from eBay or deal extreme. As noted you will lose the dimming ability.

Just do a search for 194 leds on eBay , you'll find plenty. These are the ones I used.

I don't remember the vendor I bought them from on Ebay but look for US suppliers and "buy it now" price you will get it much sooner going this route.
I was buying packs of 10 back when I bought mine and the vendor I ended up using has a resister mounted to one of the wires (inside) which is supposed to help increase the life of the LED, they only work one way.
