Are talking LED cluster illumination or an electronic display?

If you mean the LED bulbs then yes it's a fairly easy job. A simple search should help with ordering the correct bulbs. I'd leave the battery bulb and headlight indicator bulbs stock since the LEDs are noticeably brighter.

Batt light must remain stock for alternator to work properly.
Yes, I recommend leaving the headlight indicators stock and if possible put in the lowest wattage bulb in those locations. 161 3.0watt

Strongly agree. Didn't have this piece of advice when I changed mine out to LED over the summer. LED bulbs in the headlight indicator positions are VERY BRIGHT.

Agree - I had to install lower lumen lights to not end up blinded during night driving.

I installed LEDs with 5 SMDs on each bulb and had to put electrical tape over the SMDs facing toward the driver to dim them down. It was blinding. Buy low lumen bulbs. I love bright lights but the cluster is no place for super bright lights.
Another con is that the dimmer switch next to the clock won't work with standard LEDs without a modification. Wasn't an issue for me as once I never adjusted the brightness anyway once I got it where I wanted it.

I am using this to slowly switch out my bulbs to LED's. the document has a cross reference for the bulb type and LED type. I have not gotten to the dash/electronics cluster yet, but the attached documents seems to have worked well for me so far. I do not know who created this but they did an excellent job. I found it buried somewhere on the internet.
