[Supras] LED bulbs in our Supras and hood struts

[D P]

Ok, I've ordered about $87.00 worth of LED's for the dash and rear lights.  
Didn't order any for the side marker lights.  Will probably do those after I 
see how the first batch looks.

I'm not going to change the reverse lights because I used 1157's and 
soldered the 2 contacts so they're brighter.

Also, ordered the hood struts from partsamerica.......they were the most 
inexpensive of all the places that carry them.

I'm so happy now that my supra is back on the road after a year of being 
parked up.......i couldn't drive it because the PS fluid was leaking so much 
so quickly it wasn't even funny.

>>For the dash cluster, did you use the narrow 194 or did you use the wide? 
>>What about the 1156 and 1156, did you use the wide also.
