I really want to upgrade my stock VE gauge bulbs, without going the LED route! I've tried taking off the blue rubber caps on the stock bulbs, It makes them noticeably brighter, BUT much much more yellow looking. IMO the brighter looks better but I dont like the yellow color. I want to get the brightest & whitest 194 Bulbs, that will still be white without the little blue caps. There are tons of 194's on CarDomain but I don't know which ones are the better/best bulbs? Someone Please Please Help Me!!! Here are some links, let me know which ones are best! Also feel free to give more links if you got the bulb Im looking for.

Here is a link to a White 194 LED. Is it plug and play? Will it work better/be brighter than the other Non-LED 194's?

I've Been Dying To Know Which Bulbs To Get! THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

i just changed mine to blue, i went to autozone and got the cheap bulbs, 2 for $2.00 the expensive ones were 2 for $8.00, ya i know. they arent nearly as b right as i need them to be, id go LED if i were you.\

That picture is a little dark, and a lot too big.

ya i know, but the bulbs werent bright i am trying to pint that out, so watch which bulbs you get. plus you couldnt see anything when pics were small

How many bulbs are back there behind the guage panel?

damn, resize those pics!

anyhow...there are four bulbs back there. i changed all of mine to red. it's an old pic, but you get the idea. i got the bulbs off of cardomain.

I thought I was looking at my clster for a sec, I've changed all mine to red too. Along with most of the bulbs in the car.

do you have a link to the exact bulbs that you got??
and did you remove the blue cover on the stock bulbs??

the part number to the bulbs are 194. some have r or b at the end of them, that is just for the color (red, blue) the bulbs are pretty universal in many cars. to change the color, you must get new bulbs, replacing the bluish cover on origional bulbs may bot be worth it. i dunno, i got mine from advanced auto parts, you can get them from pepboys too and places like that.

nope, i just took out the stock bulbs with the blue cover thingies and replaced with these:

My main question up top is, Which bulb out of the links I gave is the brightest? Theres soo many to choose from, I cant make up my mind! BTW I Want White Bulbs.

Just get EuroLite 194s. That's what I have in my corner lamp, and those are brighter.

For $5.95 does this come with one or two bulbs??? http://www.cardomain.com/item/EUR194 Anyone Know?

i would guess 2, because it is showing 2 in the picture, but im not 100%

comes in two bulbs

ive never seen a speedo for a max that only goes to 125, mine goes to 145, i didnt know there were differnt ones ........crazy

VG = 125 speedo and VE = 145 unless you swap.

i guess my 89 vg had the digital dash and heads up so i wouldnt know but thanks for that little bit of max info

So Duckman Did you getthe whitelights you were wantin, i wanted to go all blue but couldnt get them to look blue just white so i put my green caps back in and i am goo dwith the green

does anyone have the 194 leds in their dash? i see some 6 led 194 bulbs and single led 194 bulbs.....anyone got these or what?

This was almost 2 years ago


took the blue covers off and colored the bulbs with a sharpie





they were way to dim, took them out a few days later

Red honestly has the best results visually.


edit: 127k soo long ago. 500mile tanks with the Fidanza

mrgone, those regular bulbs or leds?

star trek steering wheel is fugly

spare set of stock bulbs colored with a blue sharpie.

better to just buy some really bright bulbs (people seem to like the PIAA's) or LED's


Actually I was going to throw a cold cathode behind the gauges, you can fit a 12" in there but it's tough.

how much do the 194 led lights cost
thanks

ill sell you some for $50 pm for paypal......just kidding.

on ebay it depends you can get some cheap shipping usually costs more than the product. just check that out. or maybe napa has some.

just go to www.superbrightleds.com and they have everything in a couple colors that you owudl want in the 194s .. got single wide angle leds and some wiht 4 leds in them in colors as red,white,blue,amber,UV and a couple others i beielkvei.. and they are not very expensive either considering how long an led woud last in there..

Personnaly i like the white instead of the other colors.

BJ white

Hold on a sec. guys. Are you people telling me there is a way to make our gauges brighter at night? Please tell me this is true.

Yes, there is a way. I went ahead & got some bright white bulbs from Super Autobacs, & wow! they look soo damn good! They have a real bright white look with a very slight blue hue to them. I paid $15 for all 4 bulbs & they are a good amount brighter then stock. I'll post some pics soon.

This is a little off topic but where can I find a replacement front driverside signal light.. I need the whole light.. the car I am working on was in an accident

Classified/ parts wanted section do some browsing.

Do you have the link to the lights you bought off of Super autobac

I you like to change my lights as well thanks sooo much!
