Need to know what kind of LED's to get for gauges
 

Ok before u start flaming, i searched in the Sticky threads and all i could find about gauge LED was
http://www.geocities.com/amixam69/ni...ash/index.html

I mean i know how to do that, but for those who have LED's in the gauges, somebody had mentioned a while ago that this site
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...gi?product=CAR is a good site to get LED's, Now my question is what kind and how many LED's in a bulb do i need to get. Any have a certain color that doesnt work with the black gauges? or any kind of tips that i should be aware of? thanks again for any help.

What year is your Max?

95-97 use led bulb 194.......for 98-99 use led bulb #74

oh, sorry. I have a 97 GXE with the black analog gauges

Yes, 194 it is!!!!!!

yeh, u should be glad u have a 97. wht color did u have in mind?

I was planning on just a plain white. If i get the LED's will they be just simple........like pull the old 194 bulbs and then insert the LED's in it? OR do i have to mess with so many god damn resistors and what not.

I am almost 100% sure its plug and play...

it is 100% percent plug and play for a 97. 194 bulbs is the correct choice.

Anyone have bought #74 from www.superbrightleds.com? How do you like them?

they have like multiple LED's per "bulb" i think i remember somebody said that more than 4-5 will make hot spots on the gauges, but less than 3 will not light up correctly? Anybody know the correct amount of LEDs per bulb to get? 4?5?

I for some reason have NEVER been able to get the darn 1156/1157's to work to save my life, but it might be a maxima thing. As for the wedge bulbs, they work perfectly and look beautiful. I'm thinkin about trying the 5 LED wide angle bulbs. Does anyone know exactly how many bulbs there are?

does anyone have pics of the 194s in there car -i was thinking of going blue and was wondering how it would look-also how many bubls is it exactly for a 97 -thanks in advance

the answer is 5 LED's. For the 95 - 97's that use the 194 bulb, there are 5 of them.

where can you get LED's that have 5 on them and i have a black on black and im thinking of red. what do you guys think.

I have a 96 but i just went to Radio Shack and got 5 LEDs, Resistors and a Soldering Iron. I mean if i can do it any body could. But using 5 bulbs that go in the 5 factory bulb holders will create "hot Spots" like i have now. i read that getting 4 more LEDs and makeing the needles glow will eliminate the hot spots. so i will be making a trip back to radio shack.

this might help

can I use LED's on controls for A/C, heater, temp selector, rear window defogger and hazard switches? The bulbs recently burned out and am looking to replace with some color instead of just plain white. If so what size bulbs do I need? for a 95 Max SE. thanks

YO man, try reading the Sticky threads, i think there is a write up for those things. And yes u can do it but u have to soder alot with a LED's and resistors. I think

so i have a 97 max se black on black leather. white guages. im gonna get the 10 inverted 194 blue LEDs. thats probably my best bet correct?

oh and no im not going to change the color. i was asking about everything BUT the color :D
