I've thought about doing this with my truck too. About two years ago, I installed LED's in my 67 Mustang dash. The stock lights were so dim, I had a hard time reading the gauges. The original lamps were 5 watt so I replaced them with 10 watt lamps. That did the trick but it turned out to be a dumb idea. The Mustang dash lights have colored plastic covers and the higher wattage lamps melted them. I decided to make spacers out of .125 thick copper to bring the lamps further away from the plastic covers and it worked out fine. I recently found a Web site that sells direct replacement LED lamps specifically for the Mustang so I bought a set. They make a spectacular difference and the best thing is, all I had to do was put them in place of the old ones. I also remember that the company that sold me them had three types of LED sets. The least expensive set did not dim but their "Better" set did. I bought their better set and they work perfectly. I'm not sure if this company offers the lamp sets for other makes or models, but if anyone's interested, I can look through my paperwork and try to find the invoice for the particulars.
