I bought 194 WHITE Oval Wide Angle Lenses LEDs from:
http://autolumination.com/194.htm

And they freaking suck. I figured wide angle leds would shine a wide beam but apparently not

It was a huge waste of money and know I need to buy some new 194 LEDs, which ones should I get?

 

Wow, that's bad. I got the cheap ones from www.superbrightleds.com. Mine are blue and are very even but wish they were a bit brighter. They are about stock brightness. I was thinking of trying the white leds. More of a stock look, I kind of miss it. Anyway they are less than a buck each I think.

I think the ones with multiple leds, while brighter, are more prone to hotspots.

 

i bought some red wide angle leds from superbrightleds...they were too freaking dim. so i just some 'xenon' red ones in there.

 

wow you cant see anything on those. how u tried to exchange them for something else?

 

autolumination.com sux big elephant *********!!!

 

yeah that does suck.

Attack of the Crap! Ruuun! Quickly replace those with ones from superbrightleds pleez.

 

The LEDs have been in my room for a few months now, I never installed them because I need hte clips that hold the black guage peice around the cluster in.

Should I get these from www.superbrightleds.com?:
Or which one should I get? http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm
I want the entire guage cluster to be bright and lit w/ minimum amount of hot spots.

 

why dont you take them out and sand them, so theyll spread light better? not that leds are expensive, but whats the point of buying something you already have?

 

I don't think sanding them will make the light spread out better.

It looks like that, there is not much to sand.

 

sand the top dome area of the bulbs and see if it's any better.

 

yeah you guys are right. i bought the red 4 LED wedges from superbrightleds and sanded down those nubs on the ends. defintely evened things out a bit. not PERFECT but close.

 

Those are inverted LEDs, I am going to buy those, no hot spots. I will put 2 of my leds in the doors and other 3 in various places around the car

 

Kevlo911, can you please link me to those inverted LEDS

Scroll down on that page and you will see them.

 

98-99 guys, do not get the #74 bulbs! They are horrible....convert to 194 or use a custom LED setup

 

thank you I will post pics but I bought some 6 LED from superbright and I have hot spots, its not as bad, but still not satisfying enough.

Post pics guy when you get them installed.



edit: is it just me or am I only seeing wide leds and polarized etc. but nothing actually saying inverterted?

 

Thanks for posting that Kevlo911. I'm going to get those.

 

i used these LED's and it gives a very even light distribution inside the gauge cluster.

 

if you want even fill on your gauges buy the 194 bulbs from www.superbrightleds.com get the ones that have 6mini led's on them, they are the largest and brightest you can fit into a 95-96 housing.
