LED's for what? I thought you were asking about the white gauge covers?

That same site has the different colored LEDs to put in the dash as well.... But I was told that they were not a very good brand of lights. Burn out within a couple years...

Got those white labels on my gauges and looks nice but
you gotta take time to apply them.

I had took the all dash gauges out of the truck,
cleaning dirts and dust. I recommend doing this
in a warm place (like in your home).

As for the LED's, I put 194 type thyat I bought from Canadian Tire (ya i'm in Canada) or you could buy these from any hardware stores for cheap.
I highly advise you to put LEDs instead of stock lights that you already have, or else it will look yellow-ish and sad.

It's a quick and cheap way to get white gauges.
But it won't beat any autometer gauges look !
At least, you'll keep the "vintage" look of your gauges (in white !)

you're right

Yup these are stickers but if they are well applied, it looks nice, just watch out for the air bubbles underneath !

That's why I took off the whole thing inside the house to make a clean job.

I had these on my '86 but took them back off. They looked great but the sticker over the heat and air blocked the light and could hardly see the gages. But they did look good on the gages. I also have the led's behind the gages. I got the blue ones.:D

I think the "white" gauges look good on anything... You might just wait on the LEDs, havin them the same color of the body would really go good...

The white overlays really look great and if you decide to remove them it can be done with no problem.
