1969 DART CUSTOM FULL RESTORATION
My recommendation is uncoated or "non" water proof 12V # 5630 flexible dimmable LED light strip because it will bend tighter in the corners, and isnt in a moisture prone environment like an outdoor patio application. Ebay, Multiple colors, blue, red, green, natural light, bright white, purple dimmable. Every 3 segments has a cut line and solder pads so you can cut it down as needed.
I chose green, would have preferred a lighter shade of bluegreen like factory bulbs, but its not available. I lined my gage housing with it after buying LED bulbs and having a lot of bright and dim spots in my rallye cluster similar to factory bulbs. I wanted uniform brightness with no dim spots.i soldered the LED wire leads to a light socket, and plugged it into the circuit board.
Polarity sensitive, i recommend a 9v battery and test leads to test your gage lighting on the workbench to light em up before installing the cluster. Negative lead to cluster case ground. This way if they dont light, just swap the leads.
Hope this helps
