3 Superwhite Forward facing #74 LED (HVAC)

the only ones I found at autolumination are the red and amber ones. Is there another place to look?

[Jerod]

That is the place to get them but they are out right now. I don't know if anyone else can get them or not.

Ok, for 194 there are the Superstars...... but which 74 should we pic to match the intensity of the cluster's..... seems there is no Superstar in the 74 lineup :S

you get the "superwhite" #74 bulb... it matches just fine.

[Dreamert]

That's it, I must be dumb....I can't find the 74 SuperStar leds on the Autolumination website

Anyone can give me the link ?

EDIT: are they the first on on this page ? http://autolumination.com/74.htm
Those labeled as:
"The Widest, 3x Brightest and Best #74 Leds Ever Made!

Designed especially for gauges, and applications requiring a large uniform field of bright light

Bulbs are 3/4" (20mm) x 3/8 (10mm)" diameter at widest point with T5mm base to fit standard #74 or #37 sockets"



Are the "twist lock bases" any good to us ?

Thkx for the help.

soo the #74 bulbs dont work for all the gauges? I have to buy 7 194's? and 3 74"s? or can I just buy 10 74's?

[Jerod]

I wouldn't waste your time. Too many people having problems with the bulbs. There is supposed to be a new dash kit coming out that will get rid of all the problems and be MUCH easier to do. I will see if I can find the link. I know it will not be done for a while but it sounds like a better way to go.

Is anybody running the speedhut overlay ? http://www.speedhut.com/Default.asp?bhcp=1

Any comment on that ? How good or bad does it look ?

I just got the 7 194 LED Superwhites.
I hear alot of the troubles come from 05' rewires.

although I have only had mine for a month.....

I had these on my Avenger, weren't bad imo. The switch that switched it from blue to green was hokey, and broke. But I selected blue and tucked the switch away.

[Dreamert]

Just a thought, that number of bulbs will not address the defrost switch light :S....

Any idea which led to buy to turn the defrost switch to blue ?

[Dreamert]

I found 2 diffrent 74 led types that come in SuperWhite color to match the cluster ones.... I'm not sure which one to pick to make the HVAC job the easiest as possible.

there is the first one on this page: http://autolumination.com/74.htm
that says: "The Widest, 3x Brightest and Best #74 Leds Ever Made!

"

And the second one on the same page that says:
"#74 bulbs replace the following bulbs:17 18 37 70 73 79 85 86 2721"


Their dimensions are pretty diffrent......which one makes things easier ?

I got some Hong Kong-made LEDs from eBay about 2 months ago. They were working perfectly up until a few weeks ago when they started flickering. I have a feeling it has to do with the temperature. (I'm in Wisconsin and it's just started to get REALLY warm outside lately) I'd imagine it gets pretty hot behind the cluster. I think I'll just replace the flickering bulb and hope it goes away.
