New Interior LEDS (WOW)

I have had the 9 LED dome bulb for a while now, and I though they were really bright compared to stock. But recently I bought the 48LED board from autolumination and they are REALLY FRICKING BRIGHT!! Check it out your self:

Oh I also got 4 of their new type #74 bulbs, I put one of them in the shifter, and its bright as well. The other three im planning on putting them in the odometer.


Here is the 48LED board with the type #74 bulbs:

Nice, do they light up everything, or more of a concentrated beam? Do they still fade on and off?

No concentrated beam, as a matter of fact, thats what i was trying to get rid of with the 9LED bulbs. This new 48LEd one just lights up the ENTIRE back of my car and lights up every corner. They still do the normal fading when doors are closed.

I love it. I have had some shitty festoon bulbs and they also die out after a week. I might give this a try. I also wanted to add these to the interior:

just in case you still wanted to do replacemement domelight but thought that this was too bright, they have a 48-led "warm white" option that's more of a off-white so that it's not blinding and more soothing to the eye.

Those look good, but the custom work involved with pulling down the headliner and cutting through it would be a mission for me.

Oh really? I remember there was only 3 in the odometer area, im not doing the whole cluster. Just the part where it shows the mileage, temp, and open doors.

Here I found an image (thanks subtledreamer)

Do you know if those neo-wedge bulbs (Type A,B,C) that they have on their site, will fit in the rest of the gauge cluster?

yeah my first question was about those new type 74 bulbs u got for the odometer section. But i was wondering if you or anyone else knew if the neo wedge bulbs fit as direct replacements for the other bulbs in the instrument cluster or if custom led wiring is still the only way to do it?

im really not sure, I haven't messed around with my cluster yet.

And mezzerTL-S I might pick up some of the cluster bulbs from you, the reason I didnt want to do this like a year ago when I upgraded my climate control buttons to blue was because I was afraid of hotspots. Do you also have the same extra LEDs in your cluster as well? Got a pic by any chance?

Here ya go...

The bulb on the left is the one I used in the cluster, the bulb on the right is for the odometer. Both from Autolumination.com
You don't have to remove the gauge faces to get the cluster bulbs in, they fit through the opening.



This is a head on of the cluster bulb.



A little blurry but you get the idea. I didn't feel like getting the tripod out.



Close up of odometer.

Sweet!. The answer i was looking for. Just a few more q's if u don't mind

Could u use the bulb on the left for the odometer also?. Do u notice any hotspotting? or any sections that are dimmer than others? Lastly how many of each bulb do u need?

c0v3rr1d3 - I honestly don't know if the cluster bulb will fit mainly because I never tried, not really needed though, the reason for the triple bulb in the cluster is because you need to spread the light out as much as possible.
Not too much hotspotting but a little dim around the 3 & 4 in the tach and around the 120 - 130 mark on the speedo. You need (5) of the cluster bulbs and (3) of the odometer bulbs

VoLLy_1llusioNz - I'll pm you
