FS: Red and Yellow 0.5W cluster LEDs (lower price)
I have a set of each color available (4 Bulbs) I am looking for $30 shipped a set. The yellow ones are much brighter than they appear in the pic because of yellow lights natural low luminosity. These bulbs will also work with 02-03 clusters as well. (Unless you have the strange wraparound contacts twistlocks. If you have them you know what I mean) Here are the pics:
Pic of a warm white LED: (0.5 Watt power rating / 2W Resistor 75 Ohm)
New Stock Bulbs
Red LEDs
Yellow LED (These do not show up nearly as well because Yellow LEDs do not have much luminosity so the camera cannot pick up the light. They look like 05 Max gauges in real life with comparable brightness)

The LEDs are made from stock twist locks modified to house a 8mm LED (no wedge base). They designed in such a way that they sit almost at the same point the stock bulbs do. I cannot make wedge type bulbs because the resistor needed is too big and the placement of the LED would be messed up.

I have a rather peculiar question, but why does the shaded around around the edge of the gauges not show up with these LED's? The redline does, but the rest of that line doesn't seem to show up unless the stock bulbs are in. Any idea why?

The gauges have this blue film on the back, is there any issues with the red bulb coming off as purple? Also would you have matching bulbs to fix the climate control buttons and shifter?

That is why I have the pictures up so you can see that the light comes out just fine from red and yellow bulbs. The gauges in the pictures are not modified and have the stock blue film behind the gauges. The only LEDs that are effected by the blue film (or any film for that matter) are the white LEDs because they are not truly white. White LEDs are blue LEDs with a yellow phosphorous coating that makes the projected light appear white. As a result white LEDs tend to refract when put in a light diffuser like incandescent light bulbs hence they respond to filters. Unlike the other color LEDs which are pure color spectrum light and have no separate elements to refract when put through a light diffuser.
