LED question cluster

[squarelyfe]

Is there any issue with using all LED's in the instrument cluster EXCEPT on the turn signal indicator lights? Can I mix the two safely? I'm aware that I won't be able to dim.

I just did mine I replaced only the ones that illuminate the panel with LEDs,the others I left original. Be sure to test the bulbs before you put everything back together. P.S. mine are dimmable.

That looks nice. I'd be interested to see a setup with red as well. What type of led did you use?

I’ll try to get a pic /info on the bulb sometime tomorrow. I used ice blue bulbs.

Do you have a photo with them lit up at night?

There is a simple / cheap stock relay swap that works perfectly with LEDs (flashers, etc). Was a big write up on it that I (unbelievably) cannot find ATM....but I did order the relay so will check out its PN and post it. Maybe that will lead me to the article.

I thought that was for flashing LEDs only

No,and at the moment I have the cluster out.If I get a chance I’ll plug it in and snap a pic.

You said 'except the turn signal indicator lights'.....this was the round relay that allows them to work also. Guy that did it had it in a Chevy Caprice - same fuse panel - and it all worked fine.....dash, indicators, etc. I mentioned it because they can all be LED and work fine - thats my plan anyways.

As far as dimmable LED dash lights - probably on a different relay.

I don't want the indicator lights super bright
