Speedometer needle LED’s
Hey guys I’m swapping out the LED’s in the speedometer of my 07 deuce. The SMD’s all went in without issue, but the LED’s for the needle is a different style. Anyone know what they are and where I can find them? This is what I’ve got now, but the needle looks out of place with yellow lighting

interesting, will have to do a look-see, was not aware the needle had lighting. it would seem it would have optics to transmit light toward the needle. the needle is a translucent red and with white light, it would be red, BUT, if you have blue leds and the light is transmitted via optics, the red and blue = yellow.

Here is with pink LEDs for the needle
This is what I stuck with here. White LEDs

thanks for the jpegs, very interesting using led to shine up on the needle with i guess of sorts acts like its own optics.
what would be interesting is surface mount multi color leds.
