I have some drop in "194's" I got off Ebay that worked pretty good in my dash (74 Duster) Price was dirt cheap too. The only thing I note is the LED's pick up the blue tint of the factory coloring on the inside of the cluster. When I have some free time I was going to experiment with a spare cluster with either white or silver paint. With 194's the cluster was too dim, higher wattage bulbs were great but the headlamp switch got burning hot. http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-SUPER-WHITE-T10-7...=item3cb8d6fc0eI also tried the bulbs with a single lens, they don't seem to work as well as these.

These are the ones I used in my dash. I wanted these because you want to throw the light around the cluster to illuminate everything. Having 5 LEDs pointing at the driver will cause the focal beam to be very direct instead of a broad dispersal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-HID-...sQ5fAccessories

I am wanting to change the clearance lights on my dually with LED's. @ $12 a pop!
Less amperage on the already weak electrical system in my '93.

I have the cylindrical type LED's on the rear of my '68 B'cuda, and they work great, look great. I think the key is having a small tail light. The lense is about the size of a deck of cards, and the LED light completely fills the lense. Older mopars with round or small tail lights should benefit, where the large tail light assemblies are more difficult to get the right look.
I could not get LED's to work on the front signals on the same car. I suspect it may be something to do with the hood mounted signal indicators also in that circuit that are still incandecent.

The problem with the turn signals is that they're wired in series. LEDs have a fixed positive and negative terminal. You can't run them positive to negative like the turn signals in out older cars.

just an FYI to anyone replacing the stock flasher for one that's compatible with LED's. If the signals don't flash, reverse the wires that connect to the flasher. That solved my issue when I put LED's on the rear of my charger. I think the reason is what Feets said above.
I also had temporarily put LED's in the front of the same car and they worked fine with the hood mounted turn signals still having stock bulbs. You can mix them and if you're doing just front or just rear, you should get away with the stock flasher...I did.

I just got my WLED-RHP6-AC in red from www.superbrightleds.com for my 81 shorty. These are dimmable with your normal dimmer switch and they are 360 lights. I going to use them in the speedo and gauge receptacles. Im also going to line the housing with reflective tape. Theres a good post with pics on RCC about them.
