Hi Dave, time flies when you're having fun :)

I bought LiteZupp's LED kit and it included LEDs for the dash.  It also
included what they called a steering diode which are 2 diodes connected
back to back to back where one connects to each turn signal wire and the
common between them connects to the dash turn LED.  I don't remember why
but I did replace some of the dash LEDs that they provided.  Overall I'm
quite happy with the package.  If I remember correctly I even used an LED
for the alternator but I'm getting old and my memory is failing me!
