You need to put a 400 ohms resistor serie to each LED.

You may want to put more LEDs to make it brighter if you do not find bright white LEDs.

With different colors of LEDs, you can make to the color your want.

tha tlooks great, how exactly do you get the instrument cluster out, I know there are two screws up top, but how do you get the bottom little tabs exposed for removal?

Just pull out the black part where the light adjustment attached to, you will see two screws in behind.

I notice most have gone with the superwhite, I was thinking red; but will the output from the red bulbs have enough intensity to be easily seen?

The LEDs look great. Does the dimmer work with the LEDs or is it just one level of brightness now?
