Default DC Gauge Cluster Bulb UPGRADE

I've searched and found what replacement bulbs to use in my gauge cluster but I'm curious what I can use to actually make the display brighter?

Seems like superbrightleds.com would be a good start but I'm not sure what which ones to purchase as I've never had the cluster out before.

Could anyone give me a hand here?

bought mine from autolumination but you can get it anywhere I guess, larger bulbs are 194, and smaller bulbs are 74, get the multi-firing ones meaning they have the lights on every side. This is what mine looks like


don't want it to be too bright or else they might be a hazard while driving

Thanks LS_VTECteggy

I'm not looking to make them a hazard like the old indigo gauges, I just want to replace them with something I can see better

That's what I had planned but I wasn't sure which one were suitable... they have quite a few options.

What did you use for a part number? The 19x one or the 16x one?

I'm sure I can order them from AC Delco

go to: superbrightleds.com. I have had them (194) in my cluster (blue). They match with my stereo. They look great.

I'm just going to get them at Walmart. I installed amber bulbs in my clear corners the other day, and I found out the bulbs are actually the same size in the cluster and in the corners (the little sidemarker lights).

I used this thread. There is a website that can give you different color options. I opted for the super bright white. If it is too bright you have a dimmer and can adjust to your liking. I tried the blue and try just were not bright enough. IMHO.

Post an update with pics of your upgrade!

I got some at Walmart, $2.50 + tax for a pack of 2. I'll take a picture when it gets darker outside.
