Instrument Cluster Lighting - Led's?

  • Sponsors (?)


I have LED's in mine. They are almost to bright for me, but I also have the white gauge inlays in mine. Personally I like the traditional fillament bulb better. I will probably go back to them if I have instrument cluster out again. With the LED in the bright light indicator it is almost blinding.
 
Which bulbs did you order? Do you happen to remember the part # and quantity?

from the link i posted above

Thank you :yup: The bulbs in our clusters are #194 wedge base bulbs. I made my order using the first section on this page...

Super Bright LEDs - Miniature Wedge Base Bulbs

Click the Buy Now button and it brings up choices, I got the single LEDs from the first set "WLED-x-x LED bulb" and the 5 LED ones from the "WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb" set.



When you buy the LEDs you can choose from cool white, natural white and warm white. I chose cool white which gives it the slight blueish tint. Warm white would be equivalent to stock coloring.
 
hey, this is a 95 but i did the same thing :D

I ordered all the required bulbs today. I went with the cool white. I kind of like the "blue" glow they give off.
I'll post before and after pics when I get it done. It won't be until next weekend though.
I'm going out of town for Thanksgiving to visit family.
Thanks again for everyones input and photos.

Did my LED install over the weekend and as promised, here are the before and after pictures. My crappy cell phone pictures don't do it justice. Looks really clean in person but you can get the idea of the difference. Thanks

Looks like your red needles went white? Is that just the photo? The top of my speedo is pretty dark with the stock lights. Was wondering if a bulb is out...can't remember if one is located just above the mileage counter....anyone know?
 
what did it cost? List of parts, and where you got them from ? I did this once on my 00gt in purple and it looked good but 6 mos later my cluster barley lit.
