ok i had lots of questions about the gauge lights but this is my last one. i originally changed my stock gauges bulbs to blue bulbs. those turned green so i was very angry. so i went to white LED's, which look purple, so i was mad about that as well. on top of that, the LED's have crappy contacts, the metal on them doesnt stay in contact so i get some blinking crap once in a while, so im fed up with that. i read on a thread that i can sand my stock bulbs and color over them with a sharpie. i plan on doing that with a blue sharpie, my question is, if i do that, will they eventually turn green? or not, since the original color of them was not blue
thanks

 

they will look like as$...........

 

dont do that blue sharpie thing. i did it with my keyring light and unless you like to recolor them every month, then go for it. it'll fade and the key right light doesn't even stay on that long compared to the guages so it'll probably fade faster.

plus it'll fade from blue to purple to a light purple so if that's ur favorite color, then go for it.

 

well they shouldn't due to the fact that leds create a very low amount of heat....

 

did you try the 194 led buls from superbrightleds.com

im going to pick up some of these soon...
WLED-5 Wide Angle LED bulb
12 VDC 5-LED Wedge Base bulb (194/168 type)
Super Wide Viewing Angle bulb uses 4 radially mounted LEDs aiming out the sides and one High Flux LED on top
Non Polarized

 

too bad they cost an arm and a leg and only have 4 colors

 

dont they have some that are number 74 or something that have the plastic holder that twists right into the guages? or is this just for 96s? I saw they had them and they were only like $1.70

 

hmm... well i think i have decided to keep my white LED bulbs, im just gonna bend the metal wire contacts a little bit so they hang on to their contacts and do not blink. thanks guys

 

I replaced my "stock white" 194's with Blue 194's i bought from pep boys [Super Bright Premium Colored 194 Bulb] and they look great, Not extremely bright but they look better then the dull whites that were in there. Just a option for ya if you have a pep boys by you. I can post pics later if you like.

 

they havent turned green yet? i bought the same bulbs from pep boys, the whole set (two courtesy lights, dome light, other dome light... i dunno the name) but anyway, i bought the set for like 12 bucks and every bulb in the set turned green eventually... but thanks man... i appreciate it

 

Hey l3ftonm3 let me know how they look when you put them in!!!

 

i bought my leds from ebay, and its been 3 weeks and nothing as yet
