71 Dodge Dart Swinger in England
Also didnt like the awful factory backlighting for the stock gages left too many dim spots. I purchased peel and stick 12v #5630 led light strip and lined the inside of my gage bucket.
Evilbay and super cheap $7.00 shipped for 5 meters of it. Plenty of colours available too. I went with green. Only used about 1 meter of it. I soldered the leads to one of the bulb holders. Its dimmable down to 7 volts.
Every 3 segments there is a cut line and solder tabs so this stuff can be used almost anywhere.
