Hey man,were practically neighbors-I live across the hudson near mechanicville.

Anyways, I split the ***** into two sections(each section having 3 leds wired in series), then i split the buttons into two sections (each section having two leds wired in series). Each section has its own resistor but draws from a common power and ground. The series parallel wizard on superbrightleds.com is very helpfull here. duwem you can find the 5 bulb leds at this website.

yeah, superbrightLEDs.com. I think they end up being about 4 a piece. I reused my sockets, but I think the better way would be to get those aftermarket sockets for 1.60 from that place in sanfran, save you some time and you wouldn't have to fiddle with the wires.

do the 6 bulbs hot spot really bad?? would it be better to just buy 6 5 bulbs, or even the 4 bulbs??? what about the single LED bulbs....hot spot something crazy or do they evenly distribute pretty well??

going to do this pretty soon.....

Wish they'd have kept the gauge lights like that on the newer body style. Why they had to make a change I don't know.

Looks good. I just did my stock cluster, and I hate how the fuel gauge is so dang dim on the empty side. I'm gonna order some more and do like yours.
