i was just wondering if anyone has changed their bulbs in their dash to LED's. I was thinking about doing this, but i just wanted to see if anyone else has done it.

Yes, I've done it. I've posted a write-up a few years ago. You just need the LEDs and resistors to get the voltage down to three-four volts. Changed the instrument cluster, logicon, and glove box. Also added illumination to the sunroof buttons.

Any chance you still have the writeup on-hand somewhere?

It turned out fine. The only drawback was that the needles on the gauges in the cluster aren't lit or show up well. But I've driven the car at night and can see the readings fine.

The writeup is still here, but there are no pics anymore. Just do a search.
