73 Charger - Dash lights - LED Conversion questions

[rollo1504]

Hey folks!

As I am gathering information in the internet before I order parts for my dash lights led conversion I would like to ask if someone already did it and can provide some pictures.

I am very interested in seeing pictures with cold white led's AND the question to that would be "Is it really shown then as cold white? Because I have seen that all GI lamps are behind these weird light blue covers" Were the OE style illumination light blue?

My dash was completely broken so I have never seen it illuminated and I am a little bit confused how these light blue covers affect cold light leds?

Another question is the headlight indicator... Is it the one which is on the top center of the speedo?

Thanks for any inputs/pictures

Can't help on the 3rd gen questions but this is how cool white bulbs look with the blue covers in a 2nd gen. Not fully blue but it does give it a light blue tint.

Btw: What do the 4 gauges in the lower section of your center console show?

Just curious...

Thanks

Another question.

What is the operating DC of the instrument cluster LED's? 12V right? Or 6V due to the voltage limiter right behind the dash instrument?

I would have guessed that the voltage limiter behind the dash instrument which cuts 12V down to 6V are only used for the gauges right and NOT for the light bulbs? So I assume the light bulbs are powered with 12V

Can someone confirm me that please?

Thanks

5 volts ( not 6 ) is just for te gauges

Would make sense as I could figure out to find LED's with operating dc around 6V is not as easy to find as 12V leds'
