Here are mine Red Gauges. I used regular red 194 from Autozone (sorry, don't remember the brand). At night they look nice and red, but I wish they were more bright, during the day and evening it sucks cause they are pinkish or not visible at all. First I wanted to get either 4LED 194 bulbs, but guys say they have hot spots, I don't want that, so probably will try this 6LED 194 from superbrightleds.com
or this 1LED bulb.
Another alternative are Polargsm but they are costly and some guys said they may melt sockets a little because of the higher wattage.
My gauges:
or this 1LED bulb.

Has anyone tried PIAA bulbs for a superwhite look, and if so what ones?

Has anyone tried PIAA bulbs for a superwhite look, and if so what ones?

(194's are NOT going to work on 98-99 without some electrical knowledge and skill) He used white bulbs though, and from the pics he took they look amazing, just like lexus / new accord gauges.
