Pantera Electronics LED units are directional, you can turn them in the socket to brighten or dim, although I have mine on full brightness. The dimmer functionality is reduced, hence the reason I have the LED's on full and the incandescent gauges dimmed down some.
There's quite a bit of info on John's website suggesting which bulbs you should and should not replace for his LED unit.

I hadn't thought of that, but also based on performance of the current bulb
it's a non-issue. They aren't SO bright that I'd want to dim them, are
they?
