I want to get some white LEDS to put in the cluster in place of the stock bulbs, but iv no idea what sort I need.... I know people here have done the mods, what kinda bulbs? Like what code or whatever? thanks guys
do a search, was just talked about but 194 is the code number and I believe you need 6 bulbs for the cluster
I am pondering adding red to my gauges. Do the leds spread enough light or is it more focused? It seems like just buying a red bulb might work better than leds.
the warning lights are #74's but will require modification to work, they're are 5 other lights in the cluster, I have tried like 5 differnt types of those "drop in LEDs" the only way i get them to look half decent is to heavily modify the stock dials and light bars. If you like i can take pics of my own. btw i have LED's in white and blue if your intrested
Try the 5 SMT led, I had them in superwhite in my camry and they looked wicked... I got them from v-leds.com but they burnt out in about a month.....sent them back for replacement and got my money back because they were taking too long to replace....but you can get other styles of 5 in 1 led's...thats what you need, 4 leds on the side of the 194 bulb, and one on top!
if you dont want to do any work, send me your cluster(or buy one off me) and tell me what color you want.
here's what my custom job turned out like.... full story here: http://st162.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t ... sc&start=0
Just trying to find some nice white LEDS at a decent price atm. I oulled the condoms off the stock bulbs, and they were yellow not white!
www.v-leds.com has them but like I said, the ones I bought from there burnt out in a month....they were "defective" and apparently it wasn't just mine... I duno if they've fixed that issue or not but they have other colours there too.... Look for "5 smt 194"
i got the white guages to go with it, the leds are not very effective at day time, but who drives with there lights up during the day? it does look cool though... ryes dash looks a lot brighter, IMO, i would rather hes but if you want something duller then get something like mine.. how come your tacho is on the other side lol weird.
My tach isn't on the other side, your's is And mind did take a bit of work to get it to look like that....want something bright and easy, 5smt (surface mount) led's are where it's at.
