Bypassing panel dimmer on a classic

[shed driver]

I've got a 1973 P5B coupe. The panel lights are really dim and I'd like to replace them with LEDs. There's a rheostat dimmer switch that I believe I would have to bypass in order to install LEDs. Is it as simple as just disconnecting the switch or will it need some electrical sorcery way beyond my comprehension.

I've got the car in storage at present but hoping to get it out tomorrow so I can try and update the thread with pictures and a copy of the wiring diagram. The diagram is however more of a "guide" or work of fiction as I like to call it due to 50 years of previous tinkering.

If they are LEDs, just remove the dimmer. If they're a lower voltage, fit a suitable current limiting resister in place of the dimmer.

So do I just disconnect the wiring to the switch? Obviously I would terminate the wires, but is it likely to be that easy?
