OK.
So which LED's to get?
I'm looking at http://superlumination.com/74.htm
The #74 single LED for 2.50 each. Is that what you all used?
Thanks guys,
Andy

You used the Non LED's? #24's?
In the dark in the garage mine are really really dim....
Maybe the blue ones are just darker?

OKay, I'm not crazy....it appears that 4 out of the 5 bulbs I ordered are coated much darker then the fifth!!
Just my luck!
These would have been perfect for your original intention of dimming the gauge pod Cop Runner!!
I'm still going to try the LED's, especially since I screwed these by scratching off some paint!

Great mod - thanks everyone! I just finished mine and posted a step-by-step of everything in the same category (rather than cluttering up this thread). Very slick

MY RED GAUGES DO NOT HAVE A CONSISTENT SHADE EITHER , THEY ARE DIMMER AT THE BOTTOMS LIKE YOURS DAVE ! THE IDEAL THING WOULD BE IF THERE WERE MORE BULBS , BUT YOU CAN STILL READ THEM NO PROBLEM !...AND THIER COOL AS HELL !...

superbrightleds.com, I think. I used the 2 regular #74 leds for the speedo, a #74hd for the tach, and a #74 super hd for the temp. Three different bulb intensities, but they give off even light after installed. Posted everything including pics in Yukonerdave's step-by-step post. They look friggin awesome!

I ride at night often and love the ruby red glow of the lights. You will love it too for sure. Just make sure you get the brighter ones for the instruments.
