It's a little unclear... Could you post some 'after' photos of the dash lights or are you still in the process?

Thanks! I'll probably be following in your footsteps.

I did post some after photos but its hard to see what it actually looks like outside of just a photo. The dash lights are bright and robust and you can literally HARDLY see the "hot spots" some get from swapping to LEDs. I have one bulb still giving me a bit of trouble...mainly because I have hotdog sized fingers and this is an intricate board to be twisting small bulbs into place. I had to adjust some of the bulbs that I at first thoguht were not working to light back up. Simply by twisting to the "right" spot the bulbs light up...I found it easiest to do witht he cluster not screwed in the dash and loosley on top of the steering wheel column so you can see the bulbs light up when they are turned correctly.

And also even better: Do all the "1s" there are six of them, and the 7th will be "8" for the clock to light up. The tough one I'm struggling with due to not having toy making hands is the second "1" from (or third) from left to right. It close to the speedo guts and is tough to turn in other directions once its in place. Hope this helps a bit
