..What is with everyone wanting blue interior lighting?? It's the absolute HARDEST color on your eyes at night. Red is the easiest

Speaking of red I have some red leds behind my moonie cluster but at night it’s very dim any help ?

Nah, you'd hate the advice I'd want to give.. But I would check to make sure they're getting battery voltage and what the output in lumens is supposed to be compared to stock. Also, If they aren't outputting light directly into those clear plastic carriers(?) which distribute the light through the cluster, that will most certainly make the cluster appear dim. I know some LED's have a weird scatter pattern..

Anybody have a bulb type for the control. A lot of the links are pretty old, and most of them have been discontinued by the supplier.

TIA

Is it worth it to replace with LEDs? Or should I just do incandescent bulbs?

 

[DerekTheGreat]

Incandescents.

I,m the only one that likes the original color. I put led's in and they were plenty bright but looked cheap and your dimmer doesn't work with them.

You know, I don't think anyone has ever mentioned that issue. LED's require a special dimmer. And everywhere in my house I've got an LED on a dimmer, they only last about a year.
