142,

Thanks for the reply - it's encouraging.

Note that I have individual Smiths gaugec rather that an instrument "cluster".

I've sent an email to the switch vendor to ask if it will work (dimmable) with a particular LED that they also sell. In the mean time though, in reading the questions and answers on their web page, it looks like I may not be able to ground the bulbs back to the switch via chassis ground like the old incandescents. If that's the case I may have to devise a way to insulate the bulb holders' ground-to-gauge body contact and somehow add a (-) ground wire running from the bulb holders back to the switch.
