Gauge Cluster LEDs... HELP

[chasecabe]

I have read a few threads on this and have seen many people suggest superbrightleds.com and Its a little confusing to me. I know to get 3 bulbs of the size 194 but im not sure on which style to buy. I want some bright ones of course and im not sure how to select the size of them when purchasing from there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

WLED-x5 is the one of the better ones. For your cluster lights, they'll be perfect because they'll point in every direction and light up the whole thing. I think its like $2 or $3 a bulb, but its so worth it imo. I got them from superbrightleds

What Superhypered said is right, those xHP5s are the best. Here's a link: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=/specs/WLED-xHP5.htm#photos

The cluster lights up really bright, and it looks great:

not to thread jack too much....but you guys happen to know what size LEDs the HVAC system uses.... and then there are 2 freakishly tiny lights in the Hazard and defroster switches.... Ive got EL gauges instead of LEDs, since the idjit before me cut the damn harness to hell trying to hook up his shift light...my needles wont even light up...sniff sniff

um.. something tinier? I made a mistake when I first ordered from superbrightleds. They had bulbs that were cluster gauge specific, and i got them, and I said to myself... "these dont seem right". They were like little sticks.. So I sent them back after paying for shipping and they reversed the charge. But I need to redo my HVAC system too

Oh yes...TINIER...I know you think Ive lost my mind...I took the HVAC out the other night when I was "working".....and I discovered there are some friggin teensy weensy bulbs in the switches. theyre the twist in ones that are mounted in the plastic carrier. and then there were some slightly bigger ones in the HVAC panel. But I havent a clue what size the damn things are. Figured one of you guys Had to know...but from the response I'd say you havent had the pleasure of getting to these ones. ill see if i can pull them out an get a pic. I just hate dealing with the heater cables.

They're the same ones that we use, the xHP5 ones. He just had a wicked good low-light camera so his pictures turn out way better. In reality all of ours are probably that bright.
