Working at a performance / replacement part store has its drawbacks. I never seem to leave without buying something. Last week I bought all new APC ultra-white 194 bulbs to make my cluster back-lighting brighter.

After installing them, all it did was make the #'s look blueish and no brighter at all. I was kinda dissapointed. In my CRX I used all PIAA "extreme" series bulbs, those are REALLY bright (but more $$). So I guess I'll have to get those for the truck too... The crappy part is that I can't even return the APC lights.

Oh well, live and learn... hopfully this will save someone else the hassle though.
