Dash LEDs super easy, plug play
Dash LEDs super easy, plug play I've been looking for LEDs for the dash since I swapped the overlay. I found this site that has a plug in LED. Super simple! You need 5 of them.

p# WLED-xHP High Power LED bulb
I love it, BUT the after market overlay doesn't look good. Yes its bright but it looks blury. I don't dive it at night, yet but its a COMPLETELY different story with my OE cluster! Super nice!
This sucks, I have a day time cluster I like and now a night time. Here's a pic of the OE cluster.
I did buy separate LEDs and soldered them into the HVAC plugs. That part isn't that easy.

THAT's cool!!!
I see you also have the same type of overlay I got. Do these get rid of the blury look??
Also how do those fit? Do I have to solder them in?? Square peg round hole comes to mind....LEt me know, I'll then put these lights I just got in my LT1 cluster and use the ones you say in the LS1...

Wait, can we get something straight here for people that don't know (myself included).
So this WLED-xHP bulb (1 of them) is plug and play and changes the color of the entire cluster minus the odometer?
I ask because I really like the white clusters on the new Mercedes. I was wondering what it would take to change the cluster/odometer/hvac to white.

Ryan......Did you say you bought White LED's and are using those currently? I notice how differently your gauge color in the cluster look compared to the odometer as opposed to Firehawk...Trevor's looks. He has a uniform red across the whole cluster area.
From what I understood from Mark that the McNord gauges had no color on the overlay so I'm curious as to if you used white LED's why it's showing up as pink/red?

First, the low light setting on the camara gives it that pinkish color in the pics. ITS RED...
Also, the pic in my sig is my custom overlay and the pic I showed is my stock cluster with LEDs in red.
As I said in my first post. The stock cluster looks so clear at night, my overlay in white (in sig) has like a blury look to the #s.
I'm going to buy another set, I can put these in LT1 stock cluster and go with the ones with 6 LEDs. I hope to get that clear white look as in the new cars. I want the vette look to my cluster this is why I modded a C5 bezel on to my TA bezel.

Then 2 of the remaining 8 are your turning signal indicators to tell you which way your blinker is on. So you can put any color led you want them to be. I put mine red or amber i think. The last bulb of the 8 is your headlight bright indicator which i changed to blue of course bc thats what its suppose to be. For the turning signal and high beam indicators i used these leds (WLED-xHP).
Now i just changed the 5 black lighting ones at first to (WLED-xHP6) and i could still operate my dimming switch. When i changed the last 3 (turing signal and high beam indicatiors) to these leds (WLED-xHP) i lost my dimming switch. Its not really a big deal tho there are the right brightness for me.
On last thing the leds are from superbright thats where the part #'s are from im using. the x in the number changes to what color you get so for intense if you got cool white the P/N would be WLED-CW HP6, if you got red like me it would be WLED-RHP6 and so one with the different colors. Now i hope i didn't confuse anyone.
Yep at 185k when I bought it, I made a few passes after I bought it, put in LTs, catback & tune. Ran 12.98 @ 107. Not too bad and never smoked. NOW you know why I went 408 and T56. I changed EVERYTHING under the car. So its close to new.
Just changing the 5 guage lights to LED.
