is this the right bulb?

Post by onewickedkid05 » Sat Nov 15, 2008 12:35 pm

for my cluster bulbs? Which one do you think would be the best bet for light quality and is a direct fit?

I've used teh WLED-G, but the WLED-x5 produced much better results. They're a little more pricey, but worth it.

Stay away from the ebay ones..i bought the exact same bulbs and they died within 3 months........

superbrightleds, or autoilimination sell better leds..

for the cluster, you need 6 (just for illumination). the 5-led ones provide the best light distribution and intensity, but are tricky to install since they are a bit big....mine fell out of the socket and into the cluster a number of times while installing them....

for the hvac you will need 3 or 4 neo-wedge ones...... (my 2000 had 4 sockets), newer neons have 3 .....

good luck

Regular 74 did not work for me in the hvac. the neo-wedges were as you described, small with a flat top. those worked...!!

Wish my cluster looked that good. I don't even remember what I order for leds, all I know is I had to pick them up at the post office because they were from hong kong. For some reason my temp gauge barely lights up.

Yup just as latief said. I had no issues keeping them in the cluster at all though. And with the exception of one dying on me....they've been in there 4 years, with no issues.

Thanks Alsey :)
