Default I Ordered My McEwen Gauges

Yup from Mike at WS6store.. Man that guy is the ****. he hooked me up again

anyways i got the silver face ones. Now i am trying to find red LEDs to replace the stock one.

can not decide between the following

Super Red 5 LED Refractors

or

High Power Super Red

What do you all think?

Defintley the first one. The wledx5 leds work best for our gauge clusters.

Sorry didn't see your reply.

Those 5 leds will spread the light out more evenly and you won't have any "hot spots"

Here's what my wledx5's look like in blue:

My guess is because its red and its harder for the blue buld to shine through the red. Here is my red.. Of course it is alot more red in person.. But I love them! I bought my leds from ledgauges.com
