Default BA9s LED for Mercedes Instrument Illumination

I had some requests from customers who need some better illumination in their classic Mercedes, So I came up with a new design for BA9s LEDs. I got them in Bright white and vintage white.

I want to share this here in case anyone owns a classic Mercedes and is looking for better instrument illumination, I got them now.

They are $5 each.

Here is a picture.



Thanks
Engelbert

Look like they might work well in my old Volvo. Are they dimmable?

That's pretty cool. As a Mercedes advisor I'll have remember those the next time one of my club members contacts me about doing that as a DIY project. Now if you could come up with a way to reilluminate the little diodes that burn out in the odometer/clock/ambient temp reading, you'd really be on to something...
