      Thanks for the pic. I'm guessing you posted it because of the so-called frustrations other KAT owners have had with the instrument cluster and getting it apart?

        The cluster was fairly easy to get off in my opinion but then again I had the fairings and everything off already.

        I posted it so people can see the placement of the bulbs and sometimes an actually picture helps for visual learners like me.

        What I assume people would do is read through the post and match it up to the cluster pic just to spark the light bulb if it's needed.

          Has anyone tried to use a red LED in place of one of the blue LED's in the tachometer area?

          I like the idea of having my whole tach blue, but an actual red line indication (similar to stock) would be a nice touch.

          EDIT: Two blue wide (100 degree) angle LED's and one red narrow (15 degree) angle would likely work...

            Will those size led bulbs work on 92 gsx600f? I got some leds ordered #74 they didn't fit.. so I want to make sure I get the right size before I order again.

                  I love the LED conversion idea. And what's said about polarity is very true. If your gonna work with electrical, its time to invest in a decent multi meter. I spent $50 on mine and found it extremely useful. One more tip about it. Get some extra wire, heat shrink, and connectors. Build yourself test lead adapters so your not breaking your current ones.

                    So did anybody find out what the gauge cluster bulbs are for pre kats? I've pulled mine out but they had no numbers an they were very tiny lol. I tried comparing to any in Autozone, advance auto etc and they don't carry anything that small and couldn't find a match. The only thing I thought of just now would be calling a dealer an asking bulb #? Closest thing I found was #74 but I believe the bulb area was much larger...

                      I have converted all my lighting to LED but, the headlight. Now I'm going to try a LED headlight bulb and see what the quallity is like. Since I have dual lamps I can compare bulb output and beam side by side. I'll post up when they arrive.

                            So will this style work? It appears to have the broadest light angle but I'm not sure if this will fit other than the plug style, as in a larger "bulb area". Would it fit inside?..
                            LED replacement bulbs can fit numerous vehicle applications such as vanity lights, dome lights, map lights, dashboard lights, instrument panel lights and gauge lights. This 74 bulb replaces a variety of traditional bulbs including 74, 103 and 118 bulbs. It has 3 LEDs (3528 SMD)—1 top-mounted and 2 front- and back-mounted that create a 360° viewing angle for better, allover light emission with reduced hot spots. Miniature wedge base for easy plug-and-play installation. Energy-efficient bulb operates with in a wide 10-16V DC range and is designed to last 30,000 hours on your car, truck, SUV, or van—25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Available in cool and warm white, blue, green, amber and red.

                            Otherwise it's these which has less light angle plus it's only 1 led..

This LED 74 bulb replaces a variety of traditional bulbs including 74, 103 and 118 bulbs. It has 1 LED (3528 SMD) that creates a 120° viewing angle. Miniature wedge base for easy plug-and-play installation. The energy-efficient bulb operates with in a wide 9-14.8V DC range and is designed to last 10,000 hours on your car, truck, SUV, or van—8 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Available in cool white, warm white, natural white, blue, green, amber and red.


                            I just want something blue that's bright enough to not take too much effort to see but also not blinding or distracting.

                              I would go with the second one for the Neutral/Oil Light/High beam, and in white.

                                But for the Speedo, tach, fuel use the first one so it will illuminate better correct?
