I just did this modification. Simple and really quick job that makes reading instruments in darkness much easier! Before this mod, I could barely read my speedometer in the dark, and the tachometer was pretty much invisible.

The warning lights in the middle: in particular, don't replace the GEN globe with an LED one because the alternator is designed to work with that exact one.
If you're an LED fanatic, Katdash is the way to go. I haven't tried it, but it universally gets good reviews. The price is very high.

OK, I figured out the polarity, and also determined that the Phillips Ultinon bulbs are too bright. After determining the polarity, I tested several LEDs. First off, Positive (+ or red mark) points to the inside of the cluster, ground is outside. One way to remember is to took for the brown lead from the tachometer. It is connected to the ground foil trace. The LED bulb that worked best for me is the Sylvania Cool White 163.

How can we change the windows of the speedometer?

Why the direction matters:
A light-emitting diode (LED) is ... surprise, surprise ... a diode that emits useful light.
A diode is a one-way valve for electrical current. As with water or air, if you try to push the current against a valve, nothing moves.

Yeah, possibly the most uninformative awkward and annoying bike maintenance videos I've ever seen. Perhaps if the camera was set onto a fixed tripod it might've helped?
