yea im tryna do all red asap!

 

As am I..just don't want to deal with those things burning out.

Decisions decisions..

 

^ you know that im just waiting on you bro!

 

im going to do it as soon as i find out the bulb size! oldskool said it may be 194..but not 100 percent sure...i was going to purchase the leds last night but i just wanted to be sure before i order all of them

 

I thought it was 194...but nothing comes up with Search?

 

194 or 74.......can't remember but i think i shaved down the 194s to fit. the plastic plug end can be ground down to make a tight fit. i'm still looking to confirm it.

 

ok i am positive it is the 74s. these are the LEDs that are in my picture.

the huge silver bulbs were the 194s that i shaved down to fit.

 

ok...so 74 size is confirmed? ill be getting them instead of 194

 

that pic is a #74 bulb?

yep yep those were the ones i was looking at. see if you can find one that offers a wider field of light. that's my goal for when i redo my cluster.

 

how many do u need for the gauges, and does anyone know wat size the other bulbs are? i.e. defroster, cruise, TCS, AC buttoms

 

i THINK...its 6 for the gauges..someone confirm that

 

i see 6 for the gauges on the picture i posted.

 

^ lmao ^

 

That defuser that u are talking about is that the same as the shifter.

The reason I ask is I tryed to sand it and It didnt make it clearer I just erased the whole thing so I ended up taking it all off and repainting sort of.

Is that going to happen with the gauges??

 

yep the same thing will happen if you SAND it. if you use acetone and many Q tips you will get the results you want. it will still be cloudy as you see in the pics but will let the light color pass through.

 

very nice

 

Thankyou sir!

 

what kind of wide angle LEDs did you end up going with?

 

I cheated and got them from ledautomotive.com.

 

well they give you the same kind i purchased. i believe the film has a lot to do with light distribution. did you remove the film on the backs of the gauges as discussed above? just trying to figure out how you didn't end up with hot spots.


-thanks

 

Just making things easier for when I actually install mine...lol

 

Nope, just popped them in and went. There is a slight, and I mean VERY slight area at the top of the speedo where it's slightly dim. Barely noticeable though.

Thats what we're here for

 

Goodjob mate.

So...... to clarify the bulbs/leds u bought are the same as #74 Led this. x6

Introducing the Tri-Power 3 LED Bulb

The Widest, 3x Brighter - Best #74 Leds Ever Made!
Designed especially for gauges, and applications requiring a large uniform field of bright light.Bulbs are 3/4" (20mm) x 3/8 (10mm)" diameter at widest point with T5mm base to fit standard #74 or #37 sockets.


and u did NOT remove the film.

 

i dont see where they sell red leds

 

Hehehehehe. I sent them an email. They do red for the Accord, and since the Accord is damn near the same they decided to give it a try on my car. I need to send them some pictures of it so they can decide if they want to sell them in red.

 

^^^ slickster. I want red now!

 

Same lol

 

^ Dido!

 

Civicdrivr, you didn't remove the film?!
