I'm making a junkyard run this weekend so I'll see if I can get sockets. Any crossovers with the 201's and 126's? |

I'd be interested in a pair of Cluster LEDs if you get into this; in the meantime, I will try to find a pair of sockets to send to you if you continue to be short of supply.

I don't know if 201's and 126's are the same, chances are they may be. Best to try them out in the cluster, i.e. don't just go by a visual.

OK the LED's finally came in and all orders were shipped out today. See receipt, look for your zip code to see expected delivery date. I thought the the postage would be closer to a cost of a 1st class stamp but it is $2.32 for a 0.50 oz package! With all the work I had to do I lost money on this one. I will not be making anymore turn signal LED's.

With the new green LED I just got in, I made some cluster illumination LED's by soldering them onto the sockets. Green is the color used in military cockpits for night vision since it provides the best contrast. My Jetta has green LED cluster illumination and under cloudy daylight, I can see the green lighting when turned on whereas white lighting is not noticed.
Here's what green illumination looks like compared to incandescent bulb illumination I have 2 sets of these (2 each set), after they are gone, I cannot make anymore unless I get more sockets. They are $13 a set shipped CONUS.

Bad news is all my sockets for cluster illumination has been depleted. But the good news is that I just got in some green LED's that do not need to be soldered onto sockets but plug right into them, so you just swap out the incandescent bulbs. Please PM me if you want to order a set.
I installed a set into my 85 300D today and even in daylight, I can see the green illumination when turned on. Installing them was easy. I removed the 3 Phillips screws that holds the knee panel and the plastic screw by the throttle pedal and the panel swings down, reached up and pushed out the cluster. Pulled cluster out as much as possible (without disconnecting anything else) and I was able to reach in with my fingers to undo the illumination sockets. Here's what it looks like at night.
