HIi: When my car was at the shop getting the Crate 350 I asked about checking into the dash lighting.
I at one point had the blue led bulbs put into the sockets for each light on the dash and was getting tired of poor lighting. ((Colour of the car is blue))
I asked about putting in the clear LED bulbs while the car was there. I had taken a spare dash assembly with me so they could see where the bulbs would go and also had a few extra sockets from the old dash. One of the sockets was not working and I had a spare printed circuit on the extra dash which I thought they could use.
A few conversations took place in the shop and it was decided to put in a strip of LED lights inside the dash assembly.
From the photos you can see the vast improvement. The lighting around clock is not the same as the speedo but I am willing to live with it.
Photo taken with no flash.

I am sorry as I don't have any information as to how they got the strip of LED lights in the housing or any photos which would have been nice.
yes they dim i got mine from super bright as well. they have some really cool stuff. i changed the following. signal lights front and back but left cluster ones because all LED will not work on stock flasher brake and tail lights with the ones with the most LED's been 2 yrs and no failures back up lights with a very bright one then painted inside of housing gloss white, like having 2 small headlights now !! under dash door lights (convert) and end of console (no more burnt lens !!)

I will see if I can get anymore information about the installation.
How they powered them,
How long the LED strip was.
How they put them into the cluster. -- Removed the plastic piece in front of the dash.
Did they remove the cluster to put them in
I will see what I can find out.
The printed circuit was not working for a couple of bulb locations.
I had a spare dash console which had the printed circuit on it but they decided the LED would be a better fit.
I allways wondered if you changed the dash bulbs to "red' what do you do about the "greenish" tinge covers that are in the stock dash where the bulbs go into dash [GM] all my aftermarket guages in 64 are red bulbs but dash has stock bulbs with the stock bulb lensa still in dash??? Pete
