You have no idea how many problems you just fixed for me.
One thing that I want to note, the 6led 194 socket bulb that you murdered. It may have been better to use the 5 led WIDE angle bulb. Even though the 6led bulb is advertised to be wide angle its got nothing on the 5 led wide angle.

No problem, yo! And I do realize I shoulda bought the LEDs with the 4 side emitters... oh well! I still have a flashlight effect going on (as you can see in the pics), but the biggest problem is that the tach needle is barely lit up at all. I'll fix that soon...
These are the 360�° phospher coated LEDs... they put out light more bluish than the 6-led lamps.
I used my 13.8v power supply and made a simple circuit with my fingers. I calculated before I made my 2nd LED purchase that I would need 5 of those LEDs to be able to hook them straight up to the car w/o a resistor.
Here they are unlit

Lit with the overhead lights on

Lit with the overhead lights off

Not quite as bright as the 6-led lamps (but still bright), but hey, these illuminate like an incadescent lamp!

It's just the pic... there is now a bluish-white glow on the ground from these lights. I think the last car I had that lit up the ground with the plate lights was my old Grand Prix.
Late for work now
