194 wedge bulbs




I searched around on here, found that the original incandescent bulbs are 194s.

I would assume a 194 LED setup will work...

I have ordered a few different LEDs (194 and some others) I plan on putting in the guages... I'm trying to go for even light distribution, so I'll let y'all know when I finally get em.

Yeah, that was my biggest concern.

I don't want bright spots. Some of the LEDs listed say the light is spread out and others say it's straight out. But then some don't say anything at all.

You can color the tips of the bulbs with a black marker make them not act like flashlights



I have orderd all the bulbs required for this.

WLED 5-LED Wide Angle LED bulb
12 VDC 5-LED Wedge Base bulb (194/168 type)
Super Wide Viewing Angle bulb uses 4 radially mounted LEDs aiming out the sides and one High Flux LED on top
Non Polarized
$ 2.79

Those are the bulbs you want.

You guys are getting ahead of me!!!!


Give me about 2 days I'll have pics of the led cluster bulbs and the HVAC(hopefully).

are these leds plug and play? Meaning can you just pull out the stock bulbs and put in the LEDS?

I had a problem with 2 bulbs burning out on me so I need to replace them. Right now I'm just using my Traction Control and Seatbelt bulb in place of the gauge bulbs.

I wanted to order replacement LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com but I don't know which ones to get.

Which ones should I get to replace the stock bulbs and make it a little brighter?

I took some but they are almost useless. I didn't realize my camera doesn't take night pics at all.

Unfortunately when I do get pics using someone elses camera, it will only be complete pics, not before chroming and after.

I bought 2 of these LEDs for my testing:

360�° viewing angle, phospher coated LED.

Look at the real bright white/red LEDs in the middle of this page.

Whos ready for some HVAC pics?


Now these are still in an early stage, but you get the basic idea. Want to hear some thoughts, good or bad.










Some day action with lights on.....







Some night shots. It was very hard to get the camera to focus right, but I did as good as I could.
