Default Dum Dash lights

It is time to replace my dim dash lights. My question is this. Is it safe to replace with LEDs. Any pros and cons.

They made this car for 21 years. We have a 1/21 chance of figuring out which one is yours.

Hi JD

Why don't you do what Greg and I did and replace the Dim Binnacle Dashboard Lights with Brighter 5 Watt Bulbs (Classic Car Bulbs ebay) as this did make a heck of a difference

My Car is also a 1989 xjs convertible

Here is my ABC Guide on how to remove the Binnacle and how to replace those Dim OEM Bulbs with Brighter 5 watt Bulbs, complete with 'Shed Loads' of Photos to Show you how this was done
