today i changed my cluster backlights with bright white led bulbs
at the same time i removed the orange plastic pieces that go around
the bulbs and the flood light directors that throw light back onto the outside
of the gauge faces.
overall it looks really really good. white light comes through the stock
faces very nicely and does not look ricey in the least. the only small complaint i
have is that the needles are now more dimly lit than the rest of the face.
the question is this. do they make or can I make, clear pieces that would
work the same as the stock orange ones to cast light enough the light the
needles?
if not, which wires in which plug is the power source and ground for the
backlight bulbs? the 194 ones. i think i could wire in my own separate
flood lights and still have it work with the dimmer. (the led bulbs DO work
with the dimmer even though every post here said they would not.)
