What vehicle? Insert bulbs or SMT (solder in) diodes?I’ve read several threads on using LED’s in the cluster but I have some questions from those that have done it.
- Can you dim the LED’s?
- What angle works best?
- What lumen works best?
Thanks.
Assuming you were going for the newer Ford dash gauge look? I like the blue a lot better than the green alsoWhat vehicle? Insert bulbs or SMT (solder in) diodes?
Something to consider is color. The different wave lengths appear brighter or darker. The blue I switched to are much brighter than the green diodes from the OEM, which means I run with them dimmed quite a bit. This means the digital display is darker than I would like a lot of the time.

No sir, I think they are 194's.It’s my ‘98 Dodge. I have a few lights out and figured I’d go back with LED’s. Just the ones for illumination, not the warning lights, turn signal indicators, etc.
Are they soldered to the circuit board? I thought they were 194’s in a socket you turn and remove. If they’re soldered in, I’ll just have to live with data gauges....
I was off on my own path before I found out the newer clusters are blue. I need a set of blue needles from a newer model.Assuming you were going for the newer Ford dash gauge look? I like the blue a lot better than the green also

This guy scraped the orange off his needles.
