I just purchased a set of these LED replacement bulbs, both for the dash gauge cluster and the center console gauges.

Haven't installed them yet as the car is up in the air currently being stored above another that's being worked on, but looking forward to it. I'm wondering if the regular dimmer build into the headlight switch will be able to dim them - thinking probably not, so I might need to buy another LED dimmer like I have for the change I did in my 928 from Ed Scherer in the 928 section here.

Seems like just changing the bulbs to LEDs would be sufficient to brighten them a bit and change the lighting color temperature.
In the video it looks like the lighting is actually too bright, like in the fuel gauge window, and unless someone was going to do the full gauge refurb with the powdercoating of the rings, etc like you did, sliding that gauge around on the ring face while you bend the crap out of the bezel edge doesn't look like something that's really all that great a process.
Sorry.
