Has anyone used the LED Guage Light Conversion Kit from Hi Po Parts?
Kit # FC6566FM-EL2?
Looking for some feedback as to if its really worth the effort to install.
The instrument cluster has new bulb and they are getting battery volage
They never have been really bright, but then of course my eyes aren't getting much better either at 76 years old.
Just need them a little brighter
Ideas? Comments? Suggestions?

I've gone to an LED in my Model A dash. I found it much better. Yes Apples to Oranges to some extent but the old bulb gave off the typical yellowish incandescent glow where the LED has a much brighter blueish white output (It's bright enough I'm thinking of swapping it out for a red one that won't effect night vision). The down side of LED conversions is using them in turn signals. They don't draw enough current for the flashers to work right so you have to change that to an electronic one.
Check prices on FleaBay or one of the LED suppliers. Small bulbs are $2-3 each on those sites. You can find a chart online that will tell you which bulb you need if there isn't a direct replacement number - you'll need to know diameter, pin location, contact placement, voltage.
