speedometer light bulbs?

by **bluesolara** » Thu Nov 04, 2004 3:53 pm

I remember someone posting about the speedometer light bulbs, but after searching, I still couldn't find it...

so can someone tell me where to buy bulbs to replace the green ones in our speedometer cluster?

thanks a lot!!

GOd bless

Its 5x 194 bulbs, or 4x 194 bulbs if you have glow gauges.

I made a tutorial a few months back, just look for my name in there

the bulbs arent green when u remoce them, there isa green overlay that u have to peel off and place on the new bulbs, and btw i would recommend replacing all 5 light bulbs so u dont have to opnthings up again in the near future

Speaking of dash bulbs, has anyone tried LEDs? If so, what kind did you use, and are they bright enough? I know there are ones with multidirectional lenses, but are they as bright as incandescent bulbs?

LED's are brighter but the light is more focused than incandescent. This will give you problems with hotspots. Search for more info, the topic has been discussed to death.

bassthrive, searched, found two big threads about it, but the only person even remotely talking about LEDs was you in one post; everyone else either replaces the incandscent bulbs or colours them in. What about those wide angle LEDs, are they bright enough? Has anyone tried LEDs, if so have any pics?

Ive tried blue oval lens ones for the gauge backlights. No go at all for those. I think the only ones that would work well are the "matrix" leds at superlumination, with 270 degrees of light, but even then I'm not sure since there still may be "hot spots", sine its actually 5 LEDs per bulb all facing in different directions.
