Which LED replacement for 194 dash bulbs

[dougdeep]

Got a reply back from Superbright LED. They recommended using this bulb in my instrument cluster.

I got the 194-WWHP5-PC from Superbrite LED which is basically the same 194 bulb plus a twist socket adapter. It turned out I didn't need the adapters but I heard that some similar year instrument clusters need them (I didn't want to take my panel apart twice). I only changed out the 5 general illumination bulbs in my moonie cluster but the turn signals and idiot lights are stock incandescent. Since I keep the interior illumination about half-dim, the LEDs don't overpower the other indicators.

I picked up a new gauge cluster for my 90. Yes it's a moonie cluster! I want to replace the bulbs.

Which LED bulbs are you guys AND gals using? There is only about 9000 choices with several different styles.

I was thinking something like this?????

There are 13 bulbes to replace so thought I'd just bite the bullet and get a 20 pack.

I'm open to any suggestions. Thank you!

I used these for the gauge cluster and heater control bulbs

I always get the Yorkim LEDs from Amazon. They seem to be good quality LEDs. Sylvania LEDs are probably one of the best LED bulbs I've ever had.

Do you have experience with these Yorkim bulbs? Do they dim with our old school rheostats?

These work great. Just make sure the polarity is correct when you solder them in.

I put these in the dash of my '96 and really like it. Less bright and I did sand the front facing to send the front light scattered. https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...-miniature-wedge-retrofit-30-lumens/3308/874/

I can't stand when the dash is blindingly bright with bright hot spots.

The 5th gens won't dim, but if you get the 6th gens, they should dim.

IIRC this is what I used.

It doesnt have perfect distribution. Doesnt dim all the way down. Not bad though.

Think I've got a bulb out or loose or something. Will have to take it back apart. Oh actually that was my first set of LED's. 35k miles ago. Before I swapped in the yorkims.
