Heater box needs rebuild, time to swap to LED dash lights

[Animal Lawyer]

I thought I remembered one of the supporters of this board having a complete kit tp change our mustang dash lights over to LED. I cannot seem to find his info. Can anyone suggest a good source (including the grounded flashers for the turn signals)? Shop will only have the dash apart for a few days, so I need to source the correct bulbs and get them quickly.

I like them, and my gauges could be brighter, but $75 is a lot for bulbs.

I bought these on Amazon for $10.00. They worked fine in my dashboard. Do not use to replace the turn signal dash bulbs.

Buy the lights off of Amazon. If you buy them from an auto parts store it will be $50 for bulbs.

I appreciate the heads up on the Yorkim bulbs so I bought and installed them. The posts from this site are phenomenal with great minds contributing. Thx, Bill

I'm researching this, and have a few questions.
- Are you using these with the blue diffusers?
- Are these the warm white (slightly yellow, so if using the factory diffusers, they create the blue-green gauge light)
- Does the dimmer work correctly?
- Any sense of quality/longevity?

Bulbs are bright white. Using factory difusers. Dimmer doesn’t work with LEDs. No quality issues in past 3 years they have been installed.

Thanks

Remember to check polarity (that all bulbs light up) b4 buttoning up the dash.

Another vote for the hipoparts kit. Perfect color, dimming works great.

Did you use the original filters or replace them? I see NPD has repops, and mine are pretty cloudy. Still considering my options, so asking more questions...

I bought the NPD ones but didn’t use them as they weren’t as translucent as the pic in the catalogue. I looked thru them outside in the sunlight and my originals seemed to let in more light so I reused them.
I bought the good kit from Hi-po parts and they worked great. The color is spot on and much brighter than before. A big plus with his kit is all the bulbs have the polarity marked. I used them in my dash blinkers with no problems. Just don’t use one for the alternator light if you don’t have a tach dash.
