Eh, I think LED's look better and also I don't really want to worry about the paint chipping/fading or whatever.

 

did u plan on getting just the one led bulb ones, my site i told u has ones that have 6 on one 194 bulb =P

Not sure, I just want to get some amber bulbs that will fit the interior lights and are bright. Can you show me what you're talkin about?

 

how many bulbs are there to change??

I'm guesing around 10-12, I havent counted how many I need yet.

 

well get to work and tell when your done

 

We'll there's 3 in the guage cluster, 1 for hazard light, 1 for aftermarket tach, 3 for the ceiling lights, 1 for hatch, 1 for the switch that lets air in the car (dunno the name of the switch) and the buttons for the rest of the climate control (don't know how many lights that takes)

Well that's 11 right there besides the climate control.

 

those are a good alternative to buying the real deal jdm... my cig and ashtray lights are amber (yellowish halogen) cause i took out the blue condoms... yeah.... what....

 

Anyone know how many lights are in the climate control?

 

So does putting LED lights or replacing the bulbs actually look good? anyone have pics?

 

how many are in the cluster? including the ABS light, Maintence req. etc

Have you ever done this before? Painting the surface of the bulbs would obviously decrease the light output of it resulting in DIMMER gauges. C'mon bro, it's just common sense. The same goes for all those "hyperwhite --coated 'blue' bulbs--".

Anyways, the size for the 3 replacement gauge bulbs is 194.

Blue LED bulbs from bomboi's suggested LED site

Scroll down until you find the 194/168 wedge ones...

NRg

 

This is what the 42 Draft Designs ones looks like, I dunno how the ones from superbrightleds.com look though.

 

Oh yea also...the ones from superbrightleds do you need the power regulator like the ones on 42 Draft Design?

 

whats difference b/w polarized LED and non Polarized???

 

i thought you had to remove paint and replace it with orange film on the climate control (not the bulbs)???

 

How do you guys replace the bulb in inside the gauge?

 

I dunno what's the difference between polarized and non and you can look here, it shows how to change bulbs. http://www.geocities.com/mt3c/DIY_Amber_GC.html
