Title: led dash bulbs
Post by: clayton.d.miller.7 on December 12, 2013, 04:58:31 pm

Is there such a thing as a dimmable led bulb, you can use for your dash cluster?  I just dont wanna be totally blinded. 8)Bulbs are 194s right?   I know an led is either off or on.   Does any one have pics of the chrome reflector process?

Follow the links:

• Colored Dash Lights (http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=26306.msg219102#msg219102)
  
  
• ...will the dimmer still work? (http://www.superbrightleds.com/carbulb_notes.php#dimmer)
  
  
• Super Bright LEDs - #194 (http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/miniature-wedge-base/).  Compare bulb luminosity using the "Relative Intensity" graph with each bulb listing.

Which do you recommend to use?   I just want white ones, not colored.

Peruse the Notes Concerning Conversion to LED Car Bulbs (http://www.superbrightleds.com/carbulb_notes.php).  Your choices of color and luminosity are personal and depend on the look you want, though limiting factors may be availability of a particular color in the style you want and the price.  You should do more research before settling on either.  For a factory look, I would concentrate on the warm white or natural white.  Cool white LEDs emit a definite bluish cast.  There's a link in the 'notes' that illustrates the relative color temperatures of the various white LEDs.

I changed my dash to white face gauges with blue LEDs. Bought them at superbrightLEDs, and I bought two different kinds to try and fine the brightness I like, because there were only like a buck a piece.
