Just wondering what you guys think...

i have to replace the lights in the dash and i wondering...

(see options)

With the LED option i would lightly sand the heads to disperse the light more, illuminatind a less directed area..

Also keeping in mind that this is a 1992 (MK3) JZA70 Supra and the bling bling look might not really go too well... :o

Leds are the shizzy. they'll bring out the bling factor in any car specially if they are blue leds

experiment and do what you think looks best.

what one person likes might be what you really dislike.

the power supply's for thje lights are rated at 12v. and no LED's come 12v unless they have intergrated something to step down to 3.2v.

another way is to make a 3.2v regulated supply and have all the leds run off of that...

will prob take time but would look hella coolies...
