I wanted to show off my almost finished dash changes. I can post a how to article to show how I disassembled the switches and climate controls and soldered in the LEDs if anyone is interested. The red is much better at night.

That really looks great! Please post a write up on how you did it. Thanks.

Hey, I'd love to see some info on how this was done too. I've done my cluster, but the rest is barely working at all.

Looks like a great upgrade!
I've got LEDs in an 87 and it made a huge difference!

Wondering if a write up was posted on this anywhere? I've got a bulb out in the dash and figure it would be best to replace with LEDs.

I haven't posted a write up, I'll try to put something together soon. I took a lot of pictures and should have a pretty good parts list. The switches and instrument cluster were pretty easy, but the climate controls were a little more difficult. The leds for the switches were purchased from http://www.led-switch.com/ , they offer leds with built in resistors for 12v applications in a variety of colors and intensities. The instrument cluster and climate controls leds came from https://www.superbrightleds.com/ . The cluster bulbs for a 1993 were incorrect in their database, the ones that fit are the BAX bulbs. The tabs still needed a little bit of tweaking. I also used colored film purchased from amazon to change the color of the clock, gear indicator, and inside the cluster housing.
If anyone has any questions before I get a write finished, PM me.
