has anyone trid putting a polarg 194 without the color condom in their autometer? will that be too bright? I havent mounted the guages yet so I havent experimented to see how things would look but just wondering before I go out and buy some bulbs. Also, does anyone have pics of their guages at night without the color condom on -just the clear 194 bulb lit.

 

A Polarg bulb will not be too bright and looks pretty nice.
I have wedge bulbs from www.superbrightleds.com that have 6 LEDs on the bulb. Personally I think LEDs are the way to go. You can get a variety of colors and they are very bright, especially the 4-LED or 6-LED bulbs.
Here's a pic...

interesting you think the white LED will be whiter than the polarg?

 

I got Polarg hyper white without condom and it's too bright and it's just perfect.

 

l.e.d.'s run cooler.

 

I've seen the 4-LED white bulbs in a set of Autometer gauges and they look great, defintiely better than the Polarg bulb does.

LED is the way to go, they'll never blow out and they're bright as hell.

ic ic, maybe Ill just go all out in LED then. thanks for the link!

 

whats brighter 4-leds or 6-leds.
i'm going to order the white one's.

anyone know how to hook-up an Auto-Meter electrical oil pressure gauge?

 

Freddie- The 4-LED bulbs have 4 regular 5mm LEDs on it and are very bright. The 6-LED bulbs have 6 smaller 3mm LEDs on it and are also very bright. I'd say the 6-LED bulbs are brighter, but either one you get is very bright.

what are you using Tony? 4 or 6 led's?

i just want to make sure that the 6 will fit in the Auto Meter gauge (2 1/6")

 

they talk about wiring the guages at maximadriver.com

I'm using the 6-LED bulbs. They fit fine

nismo thanks for the link, i saw that a few days ago but it really doesn't talk about the hook-up at the sen.

i'm trying to find out what i need (fitings or plugs) to order for the install.
