I have been searching on the Forums and I see that there has been a 95-99 GMT-400 LED gauge cluster install thread but has anyone installed LEDs in the earlier GMT-400s???
I am asking this because I have installed LED's in them (in my 90) twice actually - I went with RED LEDs. the first set didn't seem to be bright enough with LEDs only in the front part of the bulb - needles lit up pretty good but the numbers or other info did not light up at all unless the light off the needle illuminated onto it.
so I bought a different set of LEDs with LEDs in the front and all around the bulb for all around illumination - and besides the needles shining up brighter RED now - the numbers and other info still does not light up or shine thru.
So what gives?????
I made sure that the LEDs polarity were correct and tested them to make sure they worked before I reinstalled - they all do light up so I don't understand Why are the numbers not shining thru?
Thanks for the help.
