I have some wedge LEDs to try in the Instrument cluster that I got from www.DX.com
their nr 273523 works great in the number plate sockets, they do just fit in my
spare instrument cluster, and I also have 4 ea of the # 293508 and 4 ea of the 81588 LED wedge lamps that look better since there's LEDs all around. You need to get them in right since they are polarity sensitive. I haven't got around to trying them and don't know if they can be dimmed or not. They could very easily wind up being too bright, report back any results.

Check out DX.com for a wide selection and cheap prices. They are a good company
to do business with.

I bought some RED wedge bulb LEDs for the door markers #295306 and you'll notice that the base is just plastic with wire pigtails, They are junky sockets and
hard to install in the Volvo sockets with a solid connection- avoid that type of LED wedge bulb replacement! The style with a tiny printed circuit board plug works fine.
