We’ve all
struggled with the problem of reading our gauges at night due to poor lighting. Modern
technology has come to the rescue in the form of white LEDs. However, single
LEDs are too directional to work effectively. The big advancement has been the
low cost incorporation of SMT (surface mount technology) LEDs into a
configuration that can approximate a conventional incandescent light bulb’s
omnidirectional illumination. The attached photos show the bulb along with before and after water temp gauges followed by tach and speedo gauges. The components used are 20 SMD LEDs which provide better light than the 5 LED types offered elsewhere. I can also supply any of the other bulb types used for the indicators and switch illumination.
The bulbs are offered singly at $5.00 each and can be purchased in any quantity. Shipping within the US is $3.50. I also now have an LED kit for the exterior lights. Check out my

I can also fabricate POSITIVE GROUND bulbs for the earlier cars. Just order normally, and add a note requesting positive ground.
