Make sure to do the light "sanding" on the back of the gauge cluster overlay... it really lets the light go through and rids of the "yellow" grossness. (Course, red LEDs might not be as affected)
Held up to a flashlight, pretty easy to tell which side was sanded down and which wasn't.
When it's all said and done, here's the final results (no extra bulbs, just replaced all factory ones. Directly soldered on as the screw-in units were horrible to work with)
The turn signals go fine. The oil light was a bit dim, same with check engine. Haven't really had any other lights go off on me otherwise. At night, they are all plenty bright for sure.
The only area that was a bit "dim", even at night, was around the 90MPH and the 2K RPM area. Adding in a single LED bulb would probably cure that. It's not high on my priority list, but I'd like to do it just to even it up... eventually.
I used these guys... (very affordable)
The ones I got were the cheapest ebay ones I could find. Downside is the resistor built into the plastic housing wasn't soldered on very well at all. I think 3/4 of them didn't work, but I pulled them apart and resoldered, worked great after that.
One other thing to mention on the tail lights, especially if you plan to do some custom ones anyways, is you can ditch using any type of auto bulb and do some higher power LEDs. I know they make all types of various shapes and sizes, as well as overall output, once you get past all the direct bulb replacements. For example...

Might not be worth your time/money, but figured it might be worth mentioning.
I'm definitely interested in the headlight wiring/relay setup. Do you have any pics or diagrams? I have a pretty good idea on how it would wire up and look, but I like seeing proven documentation to insure my sanity when I can!
