Bulbs behind the dash....

My speedo bulbs are out, so I'll replace them when I get the chance. I want to change all the bulbs while I'm back there, from what I searched on the web.....There are 9 "194" bulbs? Is that correct? If this is different please let me know! Also, I'm going to replace the original bulbs w/ the ultra bright white bulbs. Has anyone done this? How does it look? Thanx:hail:

I dont know about camaros but if you have a trans am then yes there are 9 194 bulbs back there. I would suggest to get LEDs instead of regular bulbs. Here is a link where I bought mine.

Check out the McEwen site, one of our sponsors, and you'll find the kind and number you require.

Sweet, I definitely wanna know what they look like versus stock, can you take a before and after? I know what you mean about the rain, I haven't had much of a chance at all to do anything with the car this week!

Thanks!

I cant take a pic of the stock orange, cause I already changed that. I am sure someone on here has a pic of it though. I also emailed the company and they said that the dimmer should still work!

The easiest way is to simply remove the cluster.

UPDATED PICS!!!

So some of the pics dont look that good. But, the leds are great. they are very bright, dim with the switch, and are 100% better than the 194b's.
This is the 194b's on

This is the LEDs on the right two, and 194b's on the rest

This is with all the LEDs installed

This is with them on, the pic doesnt look good, but they look great in person, the camera just sucks at night



If the pics dont show, refresh them and they will show

What's the part number for the LED's that you bought from www.superbrightleds.com

Also, did you have to do anything to the LEDs, or did you just stick 'em in?

For the blue ones it is WLED-B
edit: Also, some of the Leds would not light up when I put them in, I had to take them out and switch them(flip them). So test them everytime so that you dont have to repeat any steps.
