I'm thinking about doing a little guage lighting project

anyone know?

 

isn't everything on the car 12V ??

 

I sink so

anyone know the wattages on the guage backlit cluster?

 

Wattage is determined by the resistance across the component being powered. Measure the resistance of one fo those bulbs and calculate from there. I'm thinking they're like 5w.

 

The bulbs behind the gauge cluster can be replaced with a 168 bulb or a 194 bulb. The 194 bulb has a slightly higher wattage than the 168. I believe the 194 (a basic one) has a wattage of 3.8W, whereas a 168 has a 3.2W or so wattage.
