LED dash bulbs?
I was thinking about changing the old style #194 bulbs for some new led bulbs. Has anyone tried the led bulbs for the instrument pannel, and if so what do you think of them?

I Replaced my bulbs with LED,s from white gauges. Replaced the blinker with an Electronic one from LMC. I was told the old style blinker would not work with LED's.
Never tried them with the old blinker. Really like them. Here's some picture's of White Gauges with blue LED's.

that dash looks great, looks like it will be worth it to switch to the led bulbs

LEDs use less power but if you like to drive with your gauge lights dim at night then they aren't for you. I am using blue LEDs in all my auto meter gauges for my truck but that is just me.

Yep white gauge overlays and blue led's from super bright LEDs.com definitely the way to. Love mine.

Man that looks great. I wish I would have read this thread before I wasted $8 on halogen bulbs. Even with new bulbs my dash is still way dim.
