Gauge cluster LED's Can someone tell me which LED's I need for my gauge cluster. I know I need the 194's but I don't know exactly what style I need. I'm going with Red |
Also curious, which ones would I have to buy to go blue with the gauge cluster? |
^^^^Word |
Ask Brian2006. |
http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/bulb_specs.htm It's the third bulb down, the one that says xled x5. Hope this helps. |
Wide angle bulbs. ^I have those in my car as well. Came from this: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...x/DSC02298.jpg To this, after LEDs: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...x/DSC02300.jpg |
^^^^ That's what I'm looking for. Thanks guys |

Just remember, once you put in the leds, push in the cluster, turn on your parking lamps, and check which ones are out. Pull the cluster back out, and whichever lights werent lit, flip the LED 180 degrees, and put it back in. Also the 5LED wide angles are kinda annoying to fit into the socket, just play with it and you'll find the perfect angle to fit them in, don't break any! :) Thanks for the advice |
you need 5 for the cluster right? |
Trust me on this, wLEDx5's will not be the optimal choice. You need a higher power bulb if going in a camaro. |
^good to know, where could I get these higher powered bulbs from? |
good thing theyre goin in the fbird haha |

Back in january we put some blue ones in a friends camaro and they looked great. No pics though, I'll see if I can find some It doesn't seem like superbrightleds carries anything better. |

I'm speaking from personal experience. They are NOT the best choice. If you want to do it the right way, you need something more powerful in a camaro. Any other color and they would be fine. It doesn't seem like superbrightleds carries anything better. |
they had the exact bulb i was looking for which was very similiar to what i bought from ledgauges.com when they were seeling the bulb kits. the only problem is that their bulb was a 74 size and not 194. If you can find it, all you need is a 194 wedge bulb that has a single SMD led mounted on top. the SMD's are expensive but they are VERY bright and work really well. i for one am going to try out those x5 bulbs (just ordered 6 of em) as they seem to be the best option i have found on here in a while. ( and hopefully will work good in the T/A ) |
I'm going to agree with Brian 2006 on needing a greater luminosity output in the red range. W5leds are okay, but there are much better choices to get high output from RED LED's. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...controls11.jpg |
