I'm wondering what LEDs I should get to use on my dash. I already know how to get the cluster out and everything I'd just like to know what specs the LEDs should have that I get because I don't want to blow them or under power them...and what do I use to power them? The normal bulb wires?

Thats for a 2nd gen though...suppose I should have said that in the OP...I have a first gen

 

Easiest is just to get the LED 194 bulbs. I get mine in bulk off ebay and in 2 years have not had any problems with them. You will have to get new sockets that hold the bulb in out of an older GM or buy new ones, cheaper to just go to a junk yard and get them. The ones you have now do not allow the bulb to be replaced but the older ones you can.

 

I've been curious about this too does any S-10 have the sockets you are talking about or does it have to be something even older?

 

Your 84 might have them. I think 85 or 86 was about the time frame GM started going to the one piece socket design. I know I just get them by the handful in normally 70s models I see in the yards with the dashes already pulled.

 

Can you find a picture of the new sockets so I know what I'm looking for? And are you sure there aren't any LEDs that will fit in the existing sockets?

 

You can fit the LEDs in the sockets you have but it requires soldering the bulbs in place.
