Hey everyone,

http://ledautomotive.com/OrderInfo/9...lusterInfo.asp

What bulbs are used for this and does anyone know how many I have to replace back there?

Thanks so much!

well i just had mines replaced with some new ones that nate at ledautomotive has and they are MUCH better then the first ones, easy swap and i think it was 5 bulbs and now you dont need to take off the speedometer or nothing like that its all done from the back.

 

I don't need them for the odometer wedge part. Just the parts with meters. Anyone here know an exact number?

Thanks though harminder!

 

74

 

There are 5 back there. I've done it on a few peoples TL's. It' something that can be done in about half an hour. Good luck with that.

 

So with the new bulbs you dont have to mess with the speedometer?

 

\

pics?

 

your gonna have to wait a few days, tranny died today so once i get it back ill post pics for sure.

 

ok. Sorry to hear about that Hope Acura will take care of you.

Can you describe the look? Is it bright white like the newer honda guages? Are there a lot of hot spots with the LEDs?

 

its blue, white wont work as well, i tried it and heard. There were only two spots u could really notice but not that badly. It was at 40 mph and 120 mph. ill get you pics as soon as i can.

 

Is it just plug them in and go? It was in our Camry and it turned out well. I've heard the TL's do not work well. I don't want deep blue gauges.. just a blue tint would be okay. I'm gonna need pics, too.

 

thanks man- how is the brightness?

 

i like it, its perfect for me but depends if you want something hella bright or what, they are pretty bright but not to bright to bug u while drivin at night

 

pics?

 

like i said before, once i get the car back from the dealers ill take them til then im gonna have fun wid da tsx loaner haha sick ass car tho

 

its not that clear because its off my treo, if you want better ones let me know ill take them tommorow just got the car today.

 

the bulbs are 74?

not 168 or 194?

 

yup

 

Don't happen to have a pic of the bulb do you? Looks good, though!

 

Looks nice! But are those 2 hot spots on the speedo really noticeable in person? If someone were to look at your gauges do you think they would notice the hot spots?

 

It looks very splotchy. I'll have to pass on this mod.

 

ill take pics with a better camera tommorow and let you guys take alook

 

heres a pic of the bulb from LEDautomotive.com

 

Harminder, do you have a TL-S? I wonder if the hot spots would show on TL-S gauges too. Anyone know if the hot spots show up on both models' gauges with the LEDs? ProvidenceLeaf, I know you had a TL-S.

 

The mod would be great if it weren't for those hotspots. In our Camry, we avoided hotspots by using reflective mylar between the gauge face and gauge back panel. But it uses 194s so the LEDs we have are radial and that helps - which doesn't look to be an option for 74s.

I would like to see some better pictures.

 

thas the old bulbs, they ahve some new ones, which i have installed. you dont have to pull the gauges, jus install from behind and thas it, and yes i hav ea TL-S

 

Kool I'm going to have to get me some of those

 

Can we get some better pics from a real camera?

 

word.

but if even a bad camera can catch those hotspots, a real camera will just amplify the hotspots more.

 

ill do so on a day off, just busy between work n school.

 

A new kit came out for the gauge cluster at Ledautomotive. Here's text from the email:

We have tested some new LEDs for the TL/CL gauge cluster and they work great! They are brighter than the previous LEDs and the best part is the cluster does not have to be taken apart to install these new LEDs! Just remove the stock bulb from the back and install the LEDs in their place, it is that simple!


Can anyone please identify the bulb being used now?
