So basically I tired the search bar. Maybe I'm just challenged and I'm not trying to re-post something old.
That being said, the dash lights I plan on getting from "Superbrightleds.com". I know you need 6 of the 194 bulbs (Search feature helped my figure that out) But which style do you use? There's like 6 different style of 194 bulb. Ive heard someplaces that certain ones you can dim, some you cant. Does anyone have this information?


the less led there are the dimmer they will be
I ordered the cheapest led and mine dim...others are saying there's don't dim though Idk why who knows




With the single leds I have in the dash you cannot dim, and I am almost positive it will be the same with the other bulbs.

Just read one of the above posts and they said they could dim with leds? Are the leds used in the instrument panel and wow mine don't dim at all, weird. I ordered the single leds from superbrightleds.com and the multi led ones from eBay maybe I should try the multi led ones and see if they dim..cool!:cool:

kaoticlife, if I want to replace my HVAC bulbs with some original ones, not LEDs, do you know what the bulb size would be? Appears T1.5 is a LED only size.

Same here. Just put the led reverse lights, brake lights and switch back turns in my ebay cart to order tomorrow. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Some day I'm either going to put some 55w H3 bulbs from some old foglights or some HIDs in my reverse lights. :)
