ok so my gauges dont match my water temp gauge i just got (its white) so i want some crazy leds to go in my cluster. i read a bunch of how to's and they said get #194's in the WLED-x-x LED bulbs. that however only has 1 led in it. so total you'd have 5 in the cluster. i found this type, WLED-xHP5 Wedge Base Bulb. which has 5 high power leds in one so i'd have 25 in my cluster. does anybody know if they would fit. theyre both #194's and i figured i could put the leds in by removing the gauge faces and going from the inside of the cluster if they didnt fit in the whole through the back. anybody have these?heres a linkhttp://www.superbrightleds.com...ext=0the ones with 1 led are near the bottom. the 5 high power ones are on the second page

I am currently running single blue LEDs in the 3 illumination bulbs and I can barely make out the needle in the darkest night (dunno...I felt poetic for a moment). I have in the mail 5 SMD LEDs and I anticipate massive brightness. I vote the 25 LED theory. I also bought some for my Autometer gauges.

^yea i figured the basic ones wouldnt be very bright. and i mean $5 for one is alot but its not all that bad considering how sick the high power ones should be. what bulbs did you put in your autometer gauge? i dont know if you can do that with prosport. i plan on getting white leds to match my white prosport gauge. i hope it looks as good as the new white clusters in the high end luxury cars. lexus or somebody has some sweet white gauges in one of their cars.
