Gauge Cluster Lighting

[suprastanger507mgte]

OK : Searched and found the thread, but the actual bulb replacement/color change thread has been deleted. All that is left of it is chatter.....soooo

Only question I have is,

1 - I want to change the color of my gauge cluster lights. Do I have to change all the bulbs to the color of my choice or just the ones that have the green covering on it? There are two type of bulbs > # 74 and #194

2 - What bulbs have you guys gone with? LEDs or just regular colored ones? I want the same intensity as the stock ones, just different color, maybe blue to match my stereo and the Apexi- Electronics.

Thanks in advance.
Moe.

All the lights in the cluster has the green covering right??? I am thinking of going white LED's when I get a chance.

I want to go Blue too, I had this thread with the correct bulb numbers, but I seem to have lost it.

Go LED's, they rarely go out, Maybe even try ripping thegreen condom off and coloring them blue :dunno:

if u are getting a specific color, red will light up the best on regular 194 bulbs from kragen, i've tested only the single bulb led for the 194, it didn't light up that good, but maybe if u get the multi led 194 bulbs it will igth up brighter,

I took off the coverings and now it shines the yellowish color

There is no real write up.. just open and put bulb in lol. look Through the thread for types of bulbs to use.

keep in mind that when you put leds in, even the multi-led wedge base bulbs, youre going to get major hotspots if you dont come up with some kind of homemade diffuser.

an alternative to coloring the lights blue (say with a sharpie or something) use blue spray or paint on tint from hobby stores, or even a thin coat or two of blue nail polish.
