Not sure what type of gauges or bulbs you have but try summitracing.com
Here is a link to the LED bulds they have. They are 194 buld style which I beleave is what most gauges use.

Livorsi has both the wedge and bayonet base style LED bulbs.

We stock the wedge style LED bulb, in red only. $ 7.50@ Not really trying to sell you, use only if you strike out on your endeavors.

One of the guys on Donzi.net got some off eBay for pennies on the dollar compared to Livorsi.

Wally you can dim them but it is kind of weird how you do it. They dim not from voltage like a regular light, they dim from current. There is only about 1/2 volt diference between full bright and dim on a LED so you have to play with the curent. I will try and find the scematic if you want.

I have tried Ebay, but, when you put in "LED Lights" you get about 1/2 million results!, I think I have found a place locally that will sell them, as long as they can match up the bulbs, I would like to say "THANKS" to everyone for the help!

Audiofn: I would Love to see a schematic!, would be pretty cool if I could rig up a "dimmer" switch in one of the stock Baja switch locations!, very cool indeed!

I will try and find the diagram that I had a while back but this was a good artical (I think it is the one I did not read it) about the basics of doing it.
