It's most likely not the problem with the LED as much as it is the working voltage of the fuse for your gauge cluster lamps. Try changing out your fuse to a higher degree such as a 10 or a 15. That's how I ended up getting my indiglo's to stay on without taking down half the electrical system in my car!!

No, its definatly not a fuse problem, it is because with LED, light is dispersed in more of a bright cone rather than a sphere. That is why you see the needles lit up (the light goes straight to the needle crystal), Also that is why it isn't bright all around. Fuses are at the level they are for a reason. With indiglos, all they need is a constant 12v's running to them, that's it, I don't see a need to change anything, let alone half an electrical system.

Macavely... Try looking at PIAAs. Those are definatly the best quality. (a little more expensive tho) They are known as 168 wedge bulbs, which is the same as 194.
