Im planning on replacing my instrument cluster bulbs with LED's on my "69 truck. When i look on Amazon, there is an issue with reverse polarity bulbs. Does anyone have a source that has worked for them?
Thanks Al

Re: Instrument cluster LED's
I have no idea what reverse polarity bulbs are for instrument lights. I bought something like these ( but not colored) at a swap meet.
https://www.amazon.com/cciyu-Instrument ... 95&sr=8-18
And they're f'ing incredible. Polished the lens on the cluster at the same time I had it out and it's crystal clear and bright now! (used a headlight polishing kit to do the lens.)

Re: Instrument cluster LED's
I think what they may mean is that LED bulbs are polarity specific, so you have to test them while the dash is disassembled. If one doesn't work, turn bulb 180 degrees and it will work. I did both of my 69 Mustangs and the difference is incredible. I haven't done my truck yet.

My cluster looks great! Nice and bright.
