I put a blue one in the high beam indicator, it is a little too bright at night.
The guages light up much better at night!!!
Like you said, it is such a pain to get to them you might as well do it now.

Which kind did you use for the colored lights for the center indicators?MTH76 wrote: I used white LED bulbs in the guages and a green one in the neutral indicator.

The high power ones that put out 25 lumens only come in white.
I was thinking it would be better to use red, green or blue LEDs for the indicators since that is the lens colors used in each case, but the SUPERBRIGHTS that come in colors only put out 7 lumens which is pretty weak.

OK. That's the problem, I saw tons of lights on ebay but many people have posted that a lot of them are junk. I wanted to stick with what people have actually used and know they are bright enough to be seen outside.MTH76 wrote: It has been almost a year since I changed them, I got them off of E-Bay.
