[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 1049548, member: 67547"] Almost every Explorer gauge cluster LED bulb conversion I've read had "issues" to some extent. Whether it be LED's inability to dim 100%, light dispersion, or most importantly early failure. Flicker, subject of this thread could be the most annoying. LED gauge cluster lamps are not worth it for the marginal benefits IMO. I believe most original stock Gen 1 incandescent gauge cluster lamps are still working today. If replacements are needed, 194LL incandescent bulbs FTW. I do like LED conversions for certain applications. I've replaced interior roof and license plate lamps with Sylvania Zevo 168 or 194 LED's with great results. I don't think I'll change any of the lamps inside the head and tail light housings though.
