I Got Indiglo Gauges And Was Wondering What The Output Of A Red 4 Or 5 Led 194 Bulb Would Do To My Needles Being That They Would Be The Only Things To Get Lit Up By The Leds. Are They As Bright As They Make Them To Be??? I Want My Needles To Glow Bright A$$ Red, And No I Dont Wanna Spend 70 Bucks For A Needle Kit. I Saw The Sticky About Wiring And Shoving The Led Closer To The Needles, But I Was Wonderign If Anyone Experimented With These Bulbs????? Thanks

I used the 6 led bulbs from superbrightleds.com that are blue in my dash. I have the usual hot spots. The needles light up OK but they are far from bright. If any thing they are slightly dimmer than the dash. Similar to stock, just blue. I think the mod that you refered to is your best bet. I've seen that guys signature before and they really seem to light up well. Just my thoughts.



Sorry, no night pics.

 

i got mine from superbright leds as well. It only takes 5 led bulbs and they are the pushpin ones just like the ones in the door courtesy lights. For me they are as bright blue as my reverse indiglos and thats bright as H***. Just make sure you get the right ones, mine were single led bulbs with a concavity to displace the light smoothly.

 

Those are the ones I got.
The concaved dome lets them disperse the light better.

 

Are these the ones you all are talking about?

 

Like this..

 

thanks guys hopefully this will light up my needles pretty good..

 

Check my domain, I have pics with 1,4 and 6Led's per bulb from superbrightleds.com

 

I have the white 194 Wedge LED's from Superbright, they suck... Looks like a baby blue. :[

 

I have these too.. i'm not impressed either

 

are you guys talkign about the 6-led bulbs that maxrb8 has??? i think they light up his dash pretty good

 

Im talking about the single LED bulbs, BUT, you cant judge how great the LED lights up from a picture...

Wanna see why? Here's my guages pic that I took.....



I WISH it looked like that... lol

 

Single LED:



4 LED's per bulb:



6 LED's per bulb:



All from superbrightleds.com

Also notice the reflection on the shroud, some brights spots but livable IMO

 

lol i plan on going red and getting those 6leds so hopefully that will do it. i just care about the needles since i have indiglo gauges

 

I am sorry for braking the topic here, just don't want to open another thread for one question: I have a '98 max and going to do a gauge LED mode, so can I use #194 bulbs or it has to be anything else(please specify if yes)? Thanks!!!

 

The 98 and 99 maximas use #74 bulbs, not 194

 

Thanks!!Anyone has a picture of 98-99 max's dash with blue LED, just want to see how briight they are...Thanks!!
