Autometer LED's VS. collored bulb covers
 

Just purchased to Z-series autometer gauges and want to change the lighting to red... autometer makes replacement led sockets/bulbs and they also make red collored bulb covers. Anyone try either of these methods and how do you guys like the results? thanks guys!

Done both methods. Those bulb condoms don't actually look that bad but i prefer to spend the extra $3 on leds that illuminate a lot better.

Which look closer to the stock red lighting of a trans am? summit has the bulb covers for 4 bucks opposed to 10 bucks each for the led's... unless you know where to get the led's for a better price and what size to get? also you got any night pics?

Get your LED's from here :) I got some and they are damn nice
and you cant beat their prices :D

I just don't know which size bulb fits in the autometer gauges?

The bulb size # is 194 . When you buy the LED's make sure you get the inverted cone tip . This will make the Autometer gauge light up more efficiently . Look at this page about a quarter of the way down :)

yup those are what I need! thats great! you guys have any pics of the led's on your autometer gauges? just curious how the led make them look!

I dont have red LED's in my gauges but i can tell you the white LEDs
look damn sexy :) My GF's Camaro has the red LEDs in her rear sidemarkers
and they are pretty damn bright and nice :)

Oh one other thing . When you put the LED's in their sockets turn them
on . If they dont light up take them back out and turn them around .
LED's are one direction only to light up . Hope this helps :)
