[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 432621, member: 18629"] Hmm. I posted this a while ago but not sure why the search didn't pick it up. Link: [URL]https://wrangleryjforum.com/threads/led-dash-lights.27170/#post-426107[/URL] The LED lights are much better now and I went with the white but others use red for the gauges. The warning lights are easily viewed at day or night. One thing I learned is the Check Engine Light actually has a very slight current going through it all the time as the wire comes from the engine computer. With the original incandescent light bulb it not enough to see but with the LEDS it has a very slight glow at night, that's normal. If there's a problem it gets very bright. Also the dimmable LED's only work with current flowing in one direction. If the bulb doesn't work then pull it out and reverse it. The thin wires are also a little difficult to get a good connection with when pushing them into the plastic holder. I had 5 out of a box of 10 give me problems but if I spent time making sure they were properly seated they all would have worked. I bench tested each bulb and they were all good. Also clean off all corrosion you see where the bulbs screw in. There will be corrosion, there always is. cheers. [/QUOTE]
