Great diagram and good quality LEDs for the dash. I had just replaced the bulbs when installing these. The brightness is better but not blindingly bright. The best benefit for me is they'll never likely need replacing again and they draw less power.
Very bright gauges now easy install - follow the directions on cutting the springs Bonus----if you have a "Custom Auto Sounds" radio like I do, the Dash lights will now match the radio.
I have installed the new L.E.D. lights in my dash, but have not powered the system yet. I am still working n resurrecting the dash bezels and installing the walnut inserts that I made in my shop. The instruction in the light kit were very helpful and complete. I can't wait to see the dash when it's finished. I plan to come to West Coast Classic Cougars on my west coast trip next week. I want to see the place and buy some new red instrument light filters.

Super bright verses original lighting. A bit of trim work on the socket springs to make fit but nothing crazy.
I'm very pleased, overall. As with all things Cougar under the dash, it was a bit of a struggle, but no more so than if I were replacing filament bulbs. I can now see my instruments with ease. On the downside, I can't dim my dash lights using the headlight switch. Even my add-on AutoMeter voltmeter and temperature gauges (not mounted in the dash) no longer dim.WCCC Response:You should be able to dim.

I put in the new LED light in all the usual places. But the gauge cluster lights were not near as bright as expected. Better than what they replaced. But not that much. I did put in new blue diffusers as well. In all the other locations, the LED's were far brighter
Easy install and made all the difference in the world. I can finally see the numbers.
I installed my old incandescent bulbs to make sure dimmer works...it does. The LED's do not dim, they stay bright until voltage drops low enough for them to turn off.
