Thanks and please forward the invoice and tracking # once shipped.

Does anyone know the correct LED bulbs that would go into the bulb holders on these older units.

I also need to know what LED would fit into the socket on the back of standard VDO round gauges, like the old round clock.

I already have the Jager LED wedge bulbs that I'd be transferring over and Ed's dimmer.

Default 1979 Porsche 928 US spec Temp/Fuel gauge

I have an instrument cluster that is supposed to be for a 1979 Porsche 928 US spec and it needs to have the Temp/Fuel gauge part swapped out. What year range Temp/Fuel Gauge would be compatible to swap into the cluster? If anyone has a compatible one to sell let me know. Mine already has the Lutz kit on it https://www.lutzauto.com/product-page/LTZ-92864193900

It should have this style face on it:

79-81 are going to be the years that will fit. Fortunately those years are fairly common so good gauges are easy to get ahold of.

I'm sure Mark at 928 International has more than a few lying around.
