Got my instrument cluster back in with the new LED bulbs. I like 'em. It has a nice neon-like blue color and is much brighter than what I had. The kit from these folks ( http://stores.ebay.com/HiPoParts-Manuals ) uses an "inverted lens" bulb that casts the light to the sides. I removed the old filters and painted the inside of the cluster gloss white to reflect as much light as possible. The kit includes 4 blue bulbs, 2 white, and 2 red.
The outside edges of the temp and fuel gauges are a little dim, but that's pretty much unavoidable with the stock bulb placement. The only other drawback is that the dimmer doesn't work anymore, I suppose because it's not made to regulate the low current draw of the LEDs. As it is, it's just a little bit brighter than I prefer.
