    dashboard lights

    I'm wondering if anyone's replaced the dashboard backlights with some LED lights. i want to replace the ones that came original because I'm worried about them burning out as they do get real hot. anyone know what size and how many lights there are? as well as how to access them.

    They are T10 LEDs get a 10 pack. Make sure they are short ones. I just ordered these ones. Remove dash surround and remove the cluster to install.

    Don’t forget that LEDs are directional! I never knew that until half of my dash lights didn’t work..

    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    I can supply LEDs for just about any interior or exterior bulb in your Marauder. PM me.
