Gauge bulbs

Anyone know if there is an aftermarket LED bulb that fits in the gauges (early models 75-82) It would be nice to brighten them up so I can see the reason Im getting speeding tickets.

I used Carmagic LEDs for my gauges a few years back, great investment. I also installed Engelberts brake/turn/marker LEDs. More than happy with the results and his support is outstanding.

Another satisfied Carmagic customer here. I went with the bright version but they do offer a more true to vintage looking bulb.

BA7s are awesome! Easy install and what a difference. Not too bright but look period correct where you can read the gauges.

I bought mine from CarMagic and they worked perfectly.

Have also used SuperBrighLEDs in the past for other cars but some bulbs can be the correct base but too long or too fat to fit so you can end up making multiple purchases to find the right fit. Going with CarMagic for the 911 was a no brainer since they have already done all the hard work.

+++ on CarMagic LEDs for instrument gages. Easy to do, huge improvement. When you see the difference, you will wonder why you waited

I think the carmagic kit has enough leds for one car and he includes 1 spare.
