Blue Gauge Cluster Lights - SRT Forums

Lethal_Whisper · 07-08-2005, 10:09 AM

I have searched and searched with no leads. I saw a pic posted on here before and the gauge cluster, boost gauge, and central control cluster was lit up blue not the stock green. Does anyone know how to get mine like that and where to get it.

Mmmmmmm blue gauges..

Yeah www.autolumination.com The 194 5led matrix bulbs..

There's a how-to floating around here somewhere that tells you how to do it and how many bulbs you need. I forget.

I find it really hard that your actually searched. Try "blue dash", title specific. This is what you will get in return....

I think its 5 matrix ones for the dash, 1 for boost gauge, and I'm not sure on the HVAC controls (maybe 4).

I can personally testify to the fact that the normal blue 194 bulbs are not bright enough. You'll have to keep your dimmer maxed out all the time, and the blue that the normal 194 bulb produces is nowhere near the blue that the LED produces.

There are actually 2 bulbs in the dial-a-boost switch. One bulb towards the back of the board that lights the hash mark and one that lights the dial.

So if you want your HVAC, defroster, and dial-a-boost all illuminated in blue you would need the following:

3 blue inverted LEDs for the HVAC - these LEDs already have a resistor attached so no soldering - plus the inverted bulbs spread light more evenly.

2 blue inverted LEDs for the dial-a-boost - Again, the mounting position for these is side mounting, so inverted bulbs are the best approach since they cast light from the sides of the bulb.

1 inverted blue bulb for the defroster - same as above.

Just my recommendation.

I went to autolumination's site. The only led 74 bulbs they sell are focused bulbs. There is no option for inverted. So which one are you supposed to use?
