Okay, i know they are 194 wedge bulbs for the gauge lights on a 95 max. I see a couple options though, there are different numbers of leds and what not. But im thinking of getting these inverted cone led ones, and i was curious if these are good for a much brighter than stock lighting for the gauges.

Forget them get these 6 led's per 194 socket. Awesome no high & low spots

The T13 6-LED bulbs are a little larger, they measure 1 1/8 long by 1/2 inch maximum diameter but will fit is a standard 194 type socket - polarized bulb

this will fit no problem ??
what about the auto shifter letter lights " P R N D...." ? will it fit in there?

Black Maxima

Same exact 194 bulb dude...

No prob at all. They will fit fine. I used the 5 led's per lamp and they offer the widest spread for light.

then why did you suggest the t-13 6 leds? if you have 5

joeeey

iTrader: (1)

I didn't see them when I ordered mine. I know mine look awesome. Just would just assume 6 would be better than 5. The 5 look great.

hmmm, i guess ill go with it and hope that i dont get hotspots.

If you want to be safe get the 5 led bulb. I know there aren't hot spot with that bulb. I originaly did the plain old led swap think in the dash and I had add, and add, and add more leds. Damm still got hot spots. Then I went with the 5 per light. Wow I all most came in my pants when I saw how great it looked. You'll love them

chillin014

iTrader: (67)

wow dude, you had a sexual explosion over the lights! Im gonna go with the 5 led, since youve got first hand experience.

Black Maxima

Woah that's gross man. I did feel warm inside when I finished my LEDs, but not that warm. Never thought you could get off from a Maxima...or can you...

im not seein the 5 led bulbs dawg, gonna go for the 6 i suppose

joeeey

iTrader: (1)

Well you gotta understand what happened. I first install single LED, put it all back together and it sucked. OK took it all apart again and installed 2 led per light. Still sh_tty. I then added some other led's all around the low spots. That was ok, but not as good as the Superbrights. I guess cheaper is not always better. Oh well live and learn.

correct me if im wrong but the 5 led bulbs have 4 3mm leds facing out radially and a superflux on the top

i would assume this would have the best light output as the 6 led bulbs are all pointed straight out

what colors did you guys do?? i have a sony xplod which is silver and illuminates all red so i was thinking, since i have the chrome gauge bezels i should do red leds so that i can match nicely.. Any color experiences?!?!?!

96max2fast - I'm doing red, did my window switches red, did my ignition ring red. Did courtesy door lights red. So I bought red 5led for the gauges and shifter lights.
I'm doing red because my car is maroon. Or "redwood" and I'm kinda doing a red/white/chrome/black theme. Red being the primary color of coarse.
Also, everyone does blue, and I don't especially care for white or green or purple or any of those other colors. Especially not orange.
That's my reasoning..
Oh yeah did my ac vents red too.
Gonna be on fire!

here you go guys. i used just the regular 4 LED wedges. i sanded down the nubs on the end to diffuse the light a lil cause i do get high/low spots a bit. im plannin on switching to the one with the radial bulbs. ill let you know how it comes out...but for now this is what i got.
ps: their much brighter in person. my ****ty camera doesnt do them justice.
