hi guys i replaced my speedo lights with LEDS didn't see the problem some of
you were having with it lighting up specific areas like a spotlight.
I used these LEDS that I found they have concave lenses, which helps disribute the light more evenly then the regular ones that are avaliable.
This picture shows the bulb near a piece of perspex, from how I see it the light beam hits the perspex and then is re-directed into the area of the speedo.
There are 4 LEDS that can be replaced with 3 that are used to light up the speedo area and a 4th one which is used for the battery light. I only replaced the 3 that are used for the speedo.
I used red LEDS but you can also find them in yellow, green and blue I purchased mine from Pep's Auto but you can get them from Autobarn aswell.
They are rougly around $10-12 for 2 LEDS, they are like a wedge style globe - the same as the ones that go in your indicators. One point to remember if your thinking of doing this is to undo your speedo cable from the engine bay.

i got some 80 grit sand paper and ruffed it up (so the light would distribute better)
</span>then put it all back 1 point i will make is when you put the LEDS in BEFORE you put all the dash back together make shore the LEDS work if there not working all you have to do is turn them around.
all finished and only took about 1/2 hr
