i've got a '41 ford and put LEDs in the dash. i think there were only about two or three maybe four. it brightened things up quite a bit. and AFAIK just about everyone bypasses the dimmer. their design with its thin wires and massive amount of friction didn't bode well for longevity.

might have bought them here at LedLight.com.

IMO the dash looks cool, but the gauges are pretty much illegible even in bright daylight, at least on the '41 Ford.
