While my dash was removed on my 68 Cougar base model to install a quartz clock, I replaced all bulbs with these great looking LED dash bulbs with Blue Light Diffusers. I must admit while driving the car the other night the instrument brightness display was 100 times better than the old green display dash light.

Made a big difference in lighting at night. Now I can read my gauges.

Great packaging, bulbs feel like great quality and the instructions were easy to follow. Since my car is still a WIP I haven’t been able to test them but the video on the YouTube channel for the kit, they definitely look nice!

A worthy upgrade

If you pulling your gauge cluster for any reason, this is the time to put these in. Super easy installation, and they look amazing. Solid recommend.

Awesome upgrade

I recommend doing the white paint step while you've got the dash apart. I tried it both ways and painting both the housing and backing really made everything pop to life. I replaced the diffusers as well and the dash lighting has never looked so good, likely better than it was from the showroom. LED's are of course not "original" but who cares when it looks this good! Only caution is to be careful when removing the wiring harness. I accidentally caused an internal "break" of the temp and fuel gauge power wire. I opted to just replace the harness over repairing the original.

Dash lites

LED housing is delicate so care needs to be take when inserting LED. Follow instructions carefully. AMP lite is not replaceable on standard 1968. It needs to be a bulb for proper recharging of battery. Order a NEW 1895 bulb to replace AMP bulb so all lites are new. Otherwise you will find yourself paying $8 shipping for a $1 part. Good thing I had cougar bucks :)

Excellent illumination....questionable directions

'68 XR-7.. wonderful green illumination. However, the instructions leave quite a bit to be desired. The color scheme on the printed directions for the XR-7 is off. Difficult to figure out where the red bulb goes (probably the brake warning light). Ultimately two white bulbs are left over. Used the two bulbs I originally bought for the clock on the oil pressure gauge. I need to re-order two more illumination lamps for the clock. Overall, very satisfied with the illumination and the color. By the way, I did not replace the filters, I just inserted the new bulbs without disassembling the entire dash pods. Looks like it did in 1968..nice green color
