LEDs in the Meter

[dna9656]

I installed the LEDs in the Dash (meter) and they do a good job of illuminating the dash except: They don't dim. The ones in the systems monitoring positions are presenting issues. The neutral light, Bright Head light monitor are really bright, the head light monitor light goes out when idling and it's brightness changes intermittently. Also the blinker indicators are LEDs and the monitor lights dim in sympathy with the flashing...

I'm going to re-install the systems monitor lights (158s) and leave the LEDs for dash lighting in to see how that works.

You can get LEDs in different brightnesses.

I got the brightest available for the dash illumination and they will dim some.

I kept the very bright ones for all of the indicators so that they are more visible in bright daylight. The only exception is the high beam indicator that I went with a less bright LED so that it was not uncomfortable at night. the rest of them are really not on very often at night for the brightness to be an issue.

I haven't seen any references in the selling posts that indicate dim-ability or that it has a lower brightness than say "X"

Does that mean that these were from ebay?
