It's really just a matter of buying some LED bulb replacements for the old dash bulbs and installing them. You can buy them at SuperbrightLED.com

I only replaced the cluster illumination #194 bulbs in mine, since those are the ones responsible for how bright the light is for the cluster. I didn't replace the red warning light bulbs, turn signal bulbs, or headlight high beams light, since I can see those fine. I believe there are 6 illumination bulbs.

If you want to brighten up the small gas gauge and voltage gauge cluster too, it uses 1895 bulbs, so you'd need LED replacements for that bulb number.

Also, while you're doing it, I suggest replacing the dome light bulb with an LED equivalent, and the floor courtesy light bulbs, if you have those too.

Agree with Grand73am. I just swap out the 194's that illuminate the gauges and leave the turn signal and high beam stuff alone.

Just make sure you buy LED's that are capable of dimming. Some out there act like an on/off switch making your dimming feature useless.

I'm old, so I find they tend to keep the focus off the road if too bright, and some of the LED's, depending on brand, are pretty friggin bright. So it's nice to have the option of dimming when needed.
