T4R first gen - Dashboard LED lights

Hi guys!
I'm sure there're threads about this subject, anyway, if you're looking for LED lights for your 4R first gen dashboard, you'll need T5 fitting LEDs for the gauges and clinometer, and T10 fitting LEDs for the climate control faceplate and glove compartment.

have you ever used yours? i have not, because the factory lighting is so weak, dimming it would serve no purpose.

Odd, my 91’s dimmer doesn’t work either but my 87 Subaru GL dimmed perfect, maybe the older dimmers had a different way of changing the voltage along with your 94, doesn’t bother me much as I like my dash crisp at night. Although I went with green if I did a bright white it might be bothersome.
