Anyone using LED's in stock cluster

I thought I saw a thread about replacing stock cluster bulbs with led's that fit in stock 1/4 turn bulb housing to improve brightness. Is anybody doing this. Where can I buy the #194 replacement led's.

I did find this website. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...pt%2Fwled.html

Re: Anyone using LED's in stock cluster

The leds make a difference, but the white faced gauges was my favorite.. they brighten things up to where you can see without leds ..... $19 plus $13 for AC control panel sticker.... Get the needle paint, makes it look fresh

Sorry I took so long, I'm at work...

Re: Anyone using LED's in stock cluster

Im using them... I have Blue and Red (havent tried the red ones yet)... The trick is to take apart the cluster and paint the inside a nice gloss white. The mint green is usually dull and doesn't help any...
Once you go all LED you dont have the abilitly to adjust the brightness. Its on or its off. There are ways around that but I dont remember exactly what was needed.....

Re: Anyone using LED's in stock cluster

I just did the led's and repainted my needles and it made a lot of difference, looks really nice, thinking about going with led's on park and side markers too!! have led tail lights and 3rd brake light from them, if your not sure what to get give them a call they r very helpful.
