Hey Garth, great info there. Did this help brighten up the gauges from the old incandescents? Or did it just create less heat, less power consumption?

All of the above! I can see my tach and speedo at night for the first time in 12 years! Some might think they're almost too bright, but I can turn the rheostat ever so slightly to at a point just before they go out and it will dim them just a bit. Eventually I'll incorporate an LED dimmer, but that's a future project. But i LOVE being able to see the gauges at night - no more pulling a flashlight out of the door pocket to check speed on the highway at night.

Also, use the green bulbs! I first tried white bulbs and found they had a bluish tint I didn't like. They looked more like they'd be at home in a tuner Civic or Jetta.
