Just in case anyone wants to install LED lights to instument cluster on the 85 - 87 GL1200A these worked on my 85 digital - I bought the BRISHINE T5 37 74 2721 LED Bulbs Xenon White.
The originals are #74 type bulbs- Honda manual states wrong type,
I found on AMi zon, typo

These are bright and work very well - you should get at least 11 LED bulbs (10 packs are just not enough)
Hope this helps somebody.

a link to what you bought would really help,
AMAZON is a mess for trying to find anything.

after a bit of sleuthing, this "sounds like" what you bought, but you do not show pictures of the packages, or internals.

Welcome to the forum.
Certainly don't think I'd want any bright lights interfering with my vision on a dark night.

I agree Dennis,
that is the thing that I absolutely hated about my '98 1500 with the white background gauges....
too bright, and totally useless

If they had a dimmer LEDs would be OK but what's the point. Plus if you put LEDs in the cruise control lights it won't work.
