LED dash replacement recommendations

Would like to replace all the old incandescent AD dash lights with LEDs. Are there any good ones out there -- good as in very bright and long life. Thanks in advance.

Replace them with something from super bright LED, use a rheostat or inline resistors to dim to your liking.

HAving problems identifying the correct LED bulbs and the type. Replacing the old t5? bulbs that go in the original speedo and cluster. Any links you may have would really help.

Sorry about that, I planned to get all the part numbers off my old cluster last night, but got tied up at work.

Re: LED dash replacement recommendations

This is great I have been hoping to do the same. I have looked at the link and I cant seem to figure out which would be the best replacement. So which part is it? Also would it be the same for a 1954 3100? Thanks!!!

12 volt tape lights. I was playing around and did this awhile back. They're dimmable too.
