Mine had 5. 1 at the tip and the 4 around the square "bulb". Essentially light emiting from the diodes every way but in the direction of the socket. They look great.

I`m glad to hear that I will be doing mine this week, I would have already been finished by now but I got the wrong engine harness, so I am waiting on the right engine harness to hook the dash harness to.

where did you get your harness and what year is your car? is the harness stock or aftermarket, or more heavy duty?

I am replacing the dash, heater and engine harness. I got them from Wilcox. I got my LED`s from a place called Superbright LED`S. My car is a 73 and all 3 harnesses had been really chopped up over the years. My LED`S will plug right into the bulb socket just like the old incandesant bulbs will. I got all my LED`S for about 35 bucks and for less heat and current draw I figured they were worth it

Plugged in all my LED bulbs today and fixed the sockets in the console. I closed the grage door for a minute and they look great. Not quite as bright as I thought they would be though. Looking at them outside the dash they practically burn your eyes but inside the clusters they are very subdued.
When I get the dash back together I'll put up some pics.

1973 dash light question
I am replacing interior lights only with LED, will this effect my turn signals and hazards flashers since I am staying with the incandescent bulbs on the exterior? Or do I need to stay with incandescent for the interior signal lights as well
