Thanks so much. That's a huge help.

www.superbrightleds.com has so many choices it's difficult to choose.

The 360* options tend to be larger diameter bulbs and I'd like to find some that will fit without modification to the instrument cluster.

Thanks again,

I used the same bulbs as Jim Lane except in red. I painted the inside of my gauge cluster with some silver paint I had. dunno if it helped or not, but it made me feel better lol

The LED's I used required no modifications to install, they also fit my AutoMeter gauges.

If that is the ISSPRO tach with the curved type glass, it uses the 2 of the 74 type wedge bulbs.

I used 74-xHP3: Wedge Base LED bulb. The only thing is with the top mounted LED is really bright and creates 2 bright spots on the gauge face. I plan on masking it off or removing it (don't know if it will work removing it)
