hey i have a 96 max se with white faces and i wanna change my blubs 2 super white member seening them on here before but can't find it .. what bulb u guys use again??? thanx

 

Five 194 Polargs.

 

is that what u have on your site???? looks kinda red tint???? or is that the pic..

 

bump!! anyone that can search find me a old post thanx.......

 

Im going to try the 5 polargs. I only found 1 polarg left in my garage so I guess its time to buy more. Originally I was going to do LEDs but the leds are too narrow of a beam

 

Try the Single LED Wedge Base bulbs from http://www.superbrightleds.com
they light up from the side as well as the top. If only i had a digi cam.
I got the blue ones, they are brighter than any other blue bulb i tried.

 

Thanks z-dan I just placed an order with them. The 194 bulbs are the same in the 99 as they are in 95-97 right? just wanted to make sure i got the right ones.

 

I got a bunch of those right here but I wasnt shure if they would be bright enough for me. How do those compare to the brightness of a polarg 194?

 

I can only speak for the Blue ones. I got some blue 194 polargs from autozone and can tell you the 194 LEDs were at least 50% brighter than them. don't know about the white ones though.

 

No no im sorry, i forgot to mention it was only the 95-97 that use the 194's, 98-99 uses a diferent bulb a #74 or somthing im not really sure. sorry for the confusion, i was telling Nismo about them and he has a 97.

Sped if you can't cancel the order you can always use them for the door lights or sell them here on the .org, sorry again.

 

thanks,

Sped- you can return those LEDs to them. I had to return some bulbs back. you have 30 days to return them

 

crap hah.. I wish there was a way to call them and cancel that order. I placed a 2nd order with them just now and in comments i asked for my 1st one to be cancelled. Also going to email them in the 1st confirmation email they sent to try and cancel it because I selected overnight shipping and im going to get raped on that if i do have to return the wrong bulbs. ah well live and learn.

 

where do u guys buy the 194s blubs????????????

any pics of the bulbs and of the LED? thats would be great...

BTW- I just put in 5 polarg hyper whites in and it has a slight Pink/Red tint to them so I took them out and put the stock bulbs back in.
I tried the 194 LEDs I had and they are not bright enough for me, even the 6led 194(the brightest) isnt bright enough for me. Oh well

I used the super white from www.superbrightleds.com. Even tho they don't looks white. I love the color they came out.

pictures are back up. My server was down

 

I tried installing the #74 blue leds in today.. they didnt light up.. so i put the regular bulbs back in. any idea on what could have caused this?

 

A quote from Superbrightleds.com:

"They have a built in current limiting resistor and diode to protect the led from reversed polarity installation. If you plug them in and they don't light, turn them around and they will light."

 

tried it again and figured out my dumb *** forgot to hook the dimmer back up while testing.. it all works now. i noticed that i think i need a wider angle on the led because i have some spots that arent as well lit as others.. any suggestions?

 

Ha, Dang that sucks! Least you got them working!
