Hi guys,
I recently installed new guages in my '78 Kingsley, Changed all of the original warning lights to LEDs and added a few, all works well except my low fuel light which now comes on at 3/4 full, I presume this is caused be the ultra low voltage it takes to light the LED but not sure]....anyone know a cure for this?
I added a dimmer to all of the other lights accept GEN., Low Fuel, Low oil press,that works OK and was necesary as the LEDs are really bright.
Really like gaving all the guages. Added an A/F guage and it runs around 12.5 to 13 seems a little rich?
Appreciate any input.
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
Thought I sent an earlier reply but it looks like it didn't go??
Anyway, I bought them on E-Bay, UK seller,I can get you his site if you want, they fit a 1/4" hole, Small holder goes in and the LED snaps in to that so they are a bit smaller than 1/4".
I used various colors, RED-LOw Oil press,E/brake,Brake sys.,Gen.
Blue for Low coolant,Amber-low fuel,Door ajar,Low air/comp.on, Green-cruise, Low coolant-Blue.
They are flat faced 12v LEDs with resister already added.
Don't take up much space. but very bright. Need a dimmer on some.
