Default LED cluster upgrade?

Any brand/model for leds thst can replace the stock bulbs currently in my dash cluster? Tired of the dim stock bulbs and want the nice bright white of the less.

No brand specific, but if you get some get the 360° type. Otherwise they won't work well

Be aware that with LEDs you lose or have very limited dimming. I don't like a burn your retina bright cluster so I just upgrade to newer bulbs and clean out the cluster insides.

Not an issue with the kits from onewaylight.

the brightness is not too bad, but looks ten times better. Plus you might want to follow the instructions...

I ended up painting the back of the cluster with an egg shell flat color so when you turn on the lights it does not glare so much

How's this. I did my 88 xJ, 90 MJ, 87 MJ, and 78 Alfa Romeo.
