Well I was wrong. The stock bulbs are not #37, 70, or 74. Supposedly the replacement is #24. I picked up a set, but was surprised to find they were actually bigger than the stock bulb, but the base still fits. Here's a pic for comparison: Notice how the stock bulb is bigger than the...

Update: As far as I can tell by bulb application charts, the 99-04 stangs use the #37 bulb, which is rated at 1.26 watts. I just plugged in a set of #74 bulbs (rated 1.4 watts), and it actually seemed dimmer. On closer inspection both the 37 and 74 bulbs seemed smaller than what was already...

Also, according to the Osram Sylvania website, which has an auto bulb application guide, they list #37 under general instrumentation, but no 74. If this is true, by my calculations (amps x volts) the 37 puts out 1.26 watts, as opposed to the 74's 1.4. If this is the case, then it looks like a...

Well I tried a set of 5 amber tri-leds figuring it'd shine through the needles better. While this is partially true, the gauges didn't retain the rich green. Another $20 down the tube. Since all I'm going for is a brighter, richer green, I'm thinking of sticking to incandescents. Are we...

I was starting to think the same thing, but don't quite have a handle on the optics behind it all. For the most part, the tri leds do a good job of lighting up the light diffuser behind the gauge face. If more light is going through I don't understand how the super white leds won't light up...

How will they fare lighting up the red needles and red areas on the gauge face? Has anyone tried the green leds? Pics?

I just tried swapping in tri-leds in place of the stock incandescents in my cluster on my 02 gt. I was looking for a brighter, richer green. The results were very disappointing. There were still dim spots around the areas where Visteon chose to blot with extra green gel, and the red needles...
