Got my LED dash lights

I got my replacement/plug-n-play bulbs for my 914 guages and small VDO guages from www.superbrightleds.com . It took 15 min to swap them out and 45 min. to sit and listen to a cd and look at them.
The BA7s is a direct replacement for the standard old Porsche/VW guage light and the 74 is the small VDO wedge type.
I went with red because that is the only other color other than black and silver on my car.
Sweet and eazy and only cost me $11 plus shipping ($6) to do a 914 3 guage set and 5 small VDO guages. :agree:

That's so funny. That would be me, too. I second that pic request. I'm a long way from doing anything with my dash, but I'm a-lurkin'.

It was time for a rest. I spent the day working on my son's car, pulled the old dash, cut out the spedo area for a 914 guage set and installing a new dash and all the guages. I wired guages untill I ran out of light, came in the house and found the package and had to make the swap. I have to go back to work tonight but I will try to get some pix when the sun goes down.

I tried to take some pix but they didn't come out. Dash lights only are too dark. Add enough light to get a good pic and you can't see the LEDs.
