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.

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.
