Well since everyone is doing it. I decided to do mine as well.
I replaced my stock bulbs with White 194 LED bulbs. The Pics actually show the gauges much brighter then what they really are, but I like the way they look. They look kinda purple/white







The Left one is the stock bulb and the right one is the 194 White LED.



What you guys think?

 

that is nice . were did you get the bluds at?

 

i used polargs and they turned pinkish in a month. where did u get these?

 

I have Polargs in mine and they look sweet...Decided not to go with LED's because I heard the light doesnt spread evenly across the gauges...Polargs make a HUGE difference over stocks IMO.

 

Really? Super white polargs?

 

I got them from http://superbrightleds.com
Here is the page with the bulbs

The reason I went with LEDs was so they don't fade in a week, but I think regular bulbs are brighter. Im going to try the ones with the 4 LEds and see how they look

 

Optimus - I believe that the ones with the four bulbs will look much worse. What you have now is the "inverted" LED which is specifically designed to spread the light, which is what you want for the dash. The 4 LED bulbs are very directional, and may give spotlight effects. If you try, please show us, though - I'm curious!

On the other hand, the inverteds from that site aren't very high MCD (brightness) as compared to the 4 LED arrays, so maybe that will compensate for the directionality of the other bulbs...

 

woah.. ur needles are red? mine turned blue after i changed my bulbs to blue.

 

Yeah I will try them and see how that goes. I'll post pics of that

 

Are these direct replacement with the stock ones? Also how many bulbs do you need to do the entire gauge?

 

I just bought some Polargs to change my guage bulbs out...hope they dont turn pinkish.

 

you'll need 5 of them. all you do is pull out the stock bulbs and insert the new ones.

 

They look good from the pics. I just changed my bulbs to red 194's today and what a difference.

 

i replaced my 97 with 194(regular not LED) blue. and they are not bright at all

but hte blue does look clean so ima keep it
