79 Trans Am changed my dash bulbs today!
 

Not bad at all, I think it looks better. At least my old eyes can see the gauges now, and it is not overly bright. I had to replace the speedometer cable anyway, I had it all torn apart. I am not putting the bezel back in just yet, I have a new RTS emblem coming in, replacement vent and the circuit board on the back of the rpm/odometer side. The current circuit board has seen finer days.

Oh and these are led bulbs, in case it was not obvious.

It looks great. I did that on my 76 Firebird also. It makes a nice improvement.

Can I ask the brand of LED bulb and where you bought them? I bought some on eBay for my 96 Chevy truck and most of them were flickering or non working within 2 years. Thanks

The description of one was 194 / 168 / T10 CAN Bus LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Tower - Miniature Wedge Base SKU:194-CW5-CBT-10PK

The other was...

BA9s LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Tower - BA9s Bulb SKU:194-CW5-CBT

Both were 6k bulbs from superbrightleds.com

Thanks so much!

Wowza those really stand out!

I went ahead and replaced the circuit board today, this is a picture of before and after. I also went ahead and put a positive symbol on each bulb location, and a small red dot on the positive side of each bulb with a paint pen. Made it much easier to get the led's correct.
