What part number bulbs are these and what type of led? I'm looking to making the gauges in my Lemans easier to read until I swap over to all autometer gauges.

Car looks amazing, great swap

ok so a couple days ago I took the Judge to get the exhaust done at a shop close to John's house... when i picked it up I noticed that the cut out was WAY too low. I asked him to fix it but he said he was too busy and I could bring it back this week.
Well I didn't want to take off work to do it and he doesn't work late. so Sam took it to OrangeChevyII (on DFWMustangs.com) today.. MAN.. I should have gone to him first! he cut off everything that the other guy put on because it just wasn't good enough. so here are a couple pics of the exhaust before and after

BEFORE
notice the cut out is pointed forward and to the side (scooping air into the exhaust)

Boost is at 8 lbs right now I think ( only drove it while Sam tuned it and he's had the car the last couple days since) It's going to be dyno'd today if everything works out right

Awesome man, Josh sent me some pics when Sam picked it up. Looks great and should perform pretty well.

Really loving this build.

If you look in the turbo on this pic it looks as if the turbo is smiling so i believe it agrees with its new home. Great looking project and sounds good.
