How much brighter are they?

Blackened302 · Oct 30, 2007

i wanna do this, too! gonna go to bright white LED's for the stock cluster and some bright blues to match in the autometers

I did exactly what paul is talking about....looks great. I dont know if u have tried the "bulb covers" on the autometer bulbs but they are extremely dim. The LED lights are BRIGHT. And they match the dash lights perfectly with the same shade of blue....

I changed my autometers in my old car to LEDs. I used some from this site. They matched my stock cluster pretty well and made the gauges much easier to read.

Awesome Site, Thanks

the bulb size for the instrument cluster is 194, correct?

now, is it the 194 that you just stick in, or the one that twist-locks?

What size are the ones in Autometer gauges?

Mustangless · Oct 31, 2007

I have an autometer phantom II, and I think it comes with LED. At night, it is bright enough that I can almost read it reflecting on my windshield (like the heads up display on corvettes)

It looks better than in the pictures

That might help. I can't answer the 2nd question though.

I had Ultra-Lites and used 194s. The WLED-x5 LED Wedge Base Bulbs to be exact.

Wow!

I have a volt gauge using the normal bulb with a blue condom on it... let me tell you guys... It's dull as all hell! I need something brighter!

The phanthom II gauges use an internal LED, its a different type of lighting. I have a phanthom II water temp laying around and its bright as hell, but the regular lights are not nearly as bright.

But I ordered the 5 way LEDs from superbrightlLEDs so hopefully that makes them brighter. And they were like 1/3rd the price of the autometer ones.

Can someone with these installed post up pics so I can see the difference?

Mine will probably be here monday, Ill put some in and leave one with the normal bulbs and take a pic at night.

SublimeRT · Nov 2, 2007

This pic is crappy, but it's the best I have. This is my old car. I don't have any pics without the LEDs for reference, but they were so dull they might as well have not had any lights in them.

The boost gauge in this pic (bottom one) is a pretty good representation of how bright they were and how they matched. The top one came out a little bright.

Can you give me the exact location and part number for the bulbs for the 2 pillar gauges. That looks so badass!

Check post #11 for the bulbs I used and post #6 for where I got them.
