LED Gauge Lights
CO,
I was looking for a way to brighten my stock gauges on my 69 442. I came across a couple companies selling LED bulb that are supposed to plug right into the existing bulb sockets. Has anyone used these before? If so, can you direct me to the correct part number/vendor?
Thanks
Sean

I just ordered some off eBay for my gauges. Most stated as 194 reolacements. Makes a big difference in the gauge brightness including cleaning up the gauge housings. I bought 5 led bulbs. Cheaper to order from a seller where they come overseas than a US location even though I'm sure it's the same bulbs.

They do dim just a TINY bit before shutting off completely. Pretty much full bright of nothing. Someone on here posted about installing a resistor? in line that allows you to dim them? I don't know anything about that though.
I don't have any good pictures right now.

Just in case you have not picked up your LED lights yet, I bought these up through Amazon for just under $6 plus shipping. It came out to about $1 per bulb. I just installed them yesterday to every in-dash light that I could get to and they work great.

I bought mine from
https://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/...er,WLED,21,201:
I prefer the 5 smd led WLED-xHP5-CAR (not the CAN bus) I liked the blue lights to the white ones. They dim very well.
The 6 smd led WLED-WHP6 was not available at the time - I would have tried that one first although they only come in white.
NOTE BENE - These lights are polarized so you have to plug them in the right way. If they are reversed they will not light up.
