Changed out my gauge cluster and 3 VDO gauges' light bulbs out with the Sylvania red LED's last night. I was afraid that they might have hot spots but they don't(it seems like it in the picture, but in person, they are all even)

The clock has a backlight? I knew the rest of the cluster could be swapped out(I have superbright led's)
Reason I ask is my clock does not show time a lot as if the field is dead, but it randomly lights up with the wrong time, slower. I am looking at a new clock to replace it. Biggest issue is replacing the air bag bulb with a resistor

Yes, I think it's a #74 bulb? I haven't dove into my idiot lights yet all of them work... or I hope they do :/

You might search the forum and see about a different clock to replace yours or hit the marketplace and buy a new gauge cluster all around.

I've been looking into getting led's for my headlights. What did you end up using for yours. How is the headlight cut off?

I'm in the process of 'gathering' parts so I can rebuild my headlights. I still need new adjuster screws for one. I figure since companies that rebuild are going around $600 for a pair, I can save a bit DIYing. The heat sinks were a concern, but the rubber is left off and the retainer ring still fits, or you can trim the rubber(as per superbrite tech)
The only lights that are a bit tricky are the marker lights. Since they and console light bulbs are the same, you want 360's for markers and corners. 120's are not enough for corners

"Old tech projectors"?

Projectors are still very much current-tech. OEM's are now utilizing LED lamps, but still use a projector lens to direct the light emission correctly to not BLIND ONCOMING DRIVERS...

What you're doing is still ignorant and illegal, not to mention a nuisance to other drivers.
