Out of curiosity, why don't you just buy a new LED instead of purchasing an entire Speedometer?

The CL sponsor Tanin would know...you could also look up a member named Retroplay and send him a Private message asking him if he know the LED type, part number.

did you send Tanin a message asking them?
that company offered to help.

Just for general knowledge, you can watch this video about how this person changed the LEDs in his Toyota. I do not know if it applies to the SC, but it is interesting to watch.

I've tried twice to replace the LED but every time I opened the speedometer, I got stuck at removing the needles. They just don't want to come out. Maybe third time the charm?
