194 is what you're looking for, but get the 360 degree version...the kind that point straight aren't bright enought IMO. You only need 4 of the 360 kind, just for the ones that light up the guages. The rest of them you can use the 1 direction which are cheaper if you feel like replacing those as well.

Thank you Tubbed II

I currently have these in all the lights holes in my cluster (WLED-x5 Cool White)

But like I said, they aren't bright enough because of the single direction. They work good for all the indicator lights, but the gauges could be a bit brighter.

I'm gonna go with the WLED-xHP6-AC's when I get the new ones because they are the cheapest:

Really, I'd rather go with the WLED-xHP5's because they are brighter, but they don't come in Cool White and I like the semi blueish tint they give off. The next available 360 degree one that comes in Cool White is $12 a pop, and it's just not worth it and might even be too bright since there's no way to dim them.

No problem! Based on the picture alone, it's much brighter than what I'm running. I don't have that type of cluster, but I think all the lights in the center are just going to show your indicators when activated (turns/dummy lights), not illuminate the area.

Post the night time pics if you took them!
