the rougher surface resulting from sanding diffuses the light more, so it'll be a little dimmer

makes sense. It dims them quite a bit but they are still adequately bright

I like the look. How many light bulbs are in the cluster? I am about to get the LEDs now so when I get home from Iraq I will have everything waiting. Any suggestions for LEDs besides superbrightleds.com?

i believe that there are 6 bulbs for the gauges and like 4 for the indicator lights. If you can solder good you can buy the bare LEDs and the proper resistors and do it yourself. I'm really impressed with Oznium.com, they have really good quality LEDs.

i used 6 194 6 bulb leds with 6 adaptors, i've had problems with the metal peice falling out of the plastic adaptor and the bulb fell into the cluster. idk how finger nail polish worked for yall, i tried it and it didn't do anything but make them brittle (i did infact use acetone free) i used my knife and scraped the back side clean then frosted them. needles are easy to remove just becareful you get them on back right.

[quote=truckinL33;334388]that site doesn't have the exact bulbs, the only sell bare LEDs. you would have to solder them up yourself.
i used a stripping gel and i didnt have to put any effort into it, it pulled the orange right off.

When You take the gauge cluster out is it difficult to get the clear plastic part off or is it just put on with clips?
