LED use in the D's - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I just added LED's to my dash... I didn't buy bulbs that drop in though... I replaced the "fiber optic" pieces with PCB and soldered LED's on the end.... I have some pics online... crappy from my phone but you get the idea... The picture makes them look darker than they really are... Not bad for $5.50 + tax and an hour of my time to "prototype" this...
