Not yet, but I gotta say I am always blown away by how many 50 Yr. old 1895 bulbs I have that are still working!
I'd like to see what kind of light these make in the speedo cluster.

LEDs all on their own generally aren't very good at dimming, but it's possible they've built some circuitry into that bulb assembly to take care of that - my concern would be the dash would be too bright and you wouldn't be able to turn it down to a suitable level.

LEDs in a classic hunk of Detroit iron? Gasp!

If you have taken any of this stuff apart, you know that GM went to some effort to get the lighting right with all the hues of paint inside the little pods/nacels or whatever you want to call them. I mean, check out the light produced by the map lights through that ivory plastic. Nothing like it reflecting off the chrome in the dark. That said, I would try an LED in the dome.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
