    I did for all of my vehicles. I took the gauge cluster out to see what size bulbs I needed and how many to order, and swapped them with a different color LED bulb. They don't really dim down much if you lower the setting, but I never seen a need to lower the brightness on the dashboard anyway.

    Where did you get your LED's from and what color did you use?

    The lack of dimming is my biggest fear doing this mod. I keep my dash lights pretty dim normally and on long drives at night I like them even more dim.
