LCD Display: Bulb Burnt Out. LED Replacement?
Hello all. The bulb behind my LCD display has burnt out--making it impossible to see at night. If I want to replace the bulb, is it the 74 bulb that will fit behind the LCD display? If I put in a white LED bulb will it still be able to dim at night?
Thanks for your time!

If you use a 6000k white led, the odometer will show more of a true green rather than a yellow ish green.
I don't remember the exact led I used, but I had to experiment with a few. Some will be blindingly bright, some will be dim and have dead spots.
I do know the ones that worked for me have 2 side facing and 1 forward facing chip for the odometer, high beam and turn signals, and the cluster back light LEDs I used have 3 forward facing LEDs. You want brighter LEDs for the backlights.
I ended up going with warm white LEDs as I didn't care for the true green color.
