I remember seeing on one of the forums about some LED dashlights that fit in stock locations. The one behind my tach in the dakota is gone out and I want to change em to blue to match my power supply and head unit. Help is much appreciated.

 

This is what I found Super Bright LEDs

 

damn you why did you have to show me that site now im going to go bankrupt

 

man, now I just can't figure out just which ones to order. It says wled but there are different kinds of WLEDs going from 10 bucks to like 1.50....AAAARRRRGGGHHHH

 

are they the ones with the 194 base to the? if so the bast ones are the "tee" style which they dont sell there

 

I don't know this is what sylvania gave me for dash lights

161

anybody else?

 

i went crazy one time on LED lights, i had a couple reasons why. 1. cut electrical demand, LED's use a fraction of elec vs coventional bulbs. 2. i wanted brighter interior lighting and the whites looked cool inside and tag lamp and reverse lamp locations. so i went on a spree and replaced almost every bulb on the truck. so here are the problems i had.

1. turn signals flash fast ( there is a fix to add resisters but that throws out the electrical demand theory as these resisters cause a higher amp draw)

2. brake lamps are not very bright. its hard to even notice the difference in illumination from tail lamp to brake lamp switching. ( a nice LEO helped me with that. )

3. premature and multiple kinds of bulb failures. i had some that went crazy, from flashing on/off on their own. some went completely out, some went halfway out etc...

so imho i wouldnt waste another dime on these lamps. i didint purchase these from some crap chinese no-name place they were all from SUPER BRIGHT LED.
i took the majority of these lights out within a month or so. the first bulb failure was only a day later i did keep the dome/interior lights in though.

 

yea, I'm not wanting to replace exteriors...just the dashlights...want them to be blue to match my head unit, cell/laptop charger, and my capacitor (no not a flux either)

 

i dont see why you could just get them at napa if they have them. i dont have a single led light inside my cab but then again i dont have a single light without a led on the outside

 

I want them to be BRIGHT blue, never seen bright blue bulbs before, have you?
