Guage lights mod?

My search foo must be off today. I want to increase the brightness of my instrumnet lights. I thought I read a post where some one used alternate bulbs. But I cant find it. I just painted the inside of the bucket white. I am installing a 91 electronic speedo pane and it has the PC 168 bulb assemblies in it.

Any plug in LED replacement will work. Most already have the resistor. I painted mine with a "chrome" paint.

Re: Guage lights mod?

Here is a thread where i converted my gauges to led's if that helps.

Barely could see the gauges at night until I did this.
