I JUST put in the #1 (but 4 bulbs) and the light is too conentrated, so I'm ordering #2 now.

i used the second ones in my gauges when i had my Gen3, i also put foil inside the gauges to spread and enhance the light a little bit more (do this with care, as you dont want to short circuit anything )

the outcome looked pretty good

[Zandro]

Both of those you posted pics of don't work well, the lowest doesnt spread the light
even, and the up most would do better in a flashlight i other words to concentrated.


This one works

He has a new one now. Could be good but its too expensive to try. $7.99 each.

You sure this will fit ?????? looks big from here it says on ebay "60mm total height"

[Zandro]

The total height is 54, but when the bulb is mounted in the socket
it sticks 35mm up, the diameter is 25mm

^^ thats doesn't look like a 194. 25mm is about an inch in diameter

I used these, 6LEDs with sanded lenses:



Results:

well that big assed one clearly says 3156/7, so its a brake light or similar.

personally ive tried the second one you posted. its pretty good, but not very white. plus i think i missed a green one behind the PRND21 cluster on my gen 3 so it still has a green tinge in the middle.

[AmanO]

I have 5 of the second ones also.

You could mod teh 3156s to work but they are 2 exp for me to try with.

SnakeEyes - where did you get your red ones? I just had one stop working. The people on Ebay are a little expensive compared to the blue/amber/whjite ones.
