I have a full led dash conversion,inluding all switches,trouble is as soon as i do my dial lights they bring out a brighter led!! Ive changed them 3 times now,the main fault with the dial lights is the speedo only has 1 bulb,So the rest look fine but the speedo is very dim,try Ultraleds for bulbs,he has just brought out the brightest yet led bulbs.Twist fit and slim wedge

Ive done my dash, the thing is you cant really see the speed youre going very easily. Ive got the white dials where the numbers light up, and where the needle lights up so brightly it sort of reflects off the dial. If that makes any sense. So when youre accelerating you just have a constant band of of blue light about 1cm either side of the needle, therefore not being able to see your speed.
Does anyone get what im talking about, or have the same thing??? Could i try brighter LEDs, or would they make the needle even brighter?

They should not be like that,as much as ive changed mine a few times you can see them fine.You might want to try the new bulbs on Ultraled's.They dont work out a lot of money.
