That's with LEDs...really ugly because the light is dispersed differently due to the LEDs.




And that's with red type-194 bulbs, which I recommend.

So the first pic is with red led and the second pic is with red bulbs? I like the second pic. So the bulbs are 194 bulbs and not 194 led for the second pic right?

here is my try with red painted bulbs:

IPB Image

problem is, that temperature of bulbs is really high and paint I use crozzled so after few days color was more pink than red frown.gif. So use heat resistant transparent paint is necessity. Then I used common LEDs (like this one bellow)

IPB Image

...gauges looked exactly as Coomers.

thats my experience...

I used to have 194s they we'rent as bright as my LEDs are.

This is how they are now, but this is a crappy picture, they are much better looking then that.

My blue ones did and they worked the best of any LED bulbs out there. Some people that have gotten them recently say that they can't get them through the back so they take the actual gauges out and put them in that way.

However, Since there are red bulbs as an option you might as well use them. I only went with LEDs because blue incandescent bulbs look like complete sh!t.

So let me get this straight....use 194's red bulbs instead of 194's red leds? Red bulbs turn out better then red leds?
