Upgrading the Interior Lighting
Motivation
Swapping out the gauge cluster bulbs for white LEDs was a game-changer—much brighter and clearer than the original incandescent bulbs. But when it came to the colored indicator lights (red, orange, and green for the idiot lights, turn signals, and headlights), standard LED bulbs were way too intense. After some trial and error, I found the perfect solution: **1895 LED bulbs designed for pinball machines**. Yep, you read that right! These bulbs offer a softer, more diffused glow, preventing the harsh glare that standard LEDs produce. They turned out to be the ideal choice, providing the right level of brightness without overwhelming the dash.
