Has anyone order from this place before? I'm thinking of changing all my bulbs including dash and HVAC over to these but want to see if anybody has ordered them. I've heard that the LEDs are not that bright in the dash. Would these be brighter? Any input is appreciated.

when I had my honda I ordered bulbs from them. make sure to get the bulbs that dont face all the LED's forward, but all around. the forward ones dont light up enough unless its a short sweep gauge.

other than that, they ship fast, and have great customer service

I've heard good things, I've heard bad things. It's all up to you. However, I have used http://www.v-leds.com before and it's absolutely awesome. So the choice is all yours. I got the 13 LED white 194s in my front indicators. Keep in mind, these aren't even the brightest they sell.

Nah, get the 13 LED or bigger ones. You can see the turn signals fine, they just aren't on in that picture, haha.

Oh man, that's exactly how I want my instrument cluster to look... Which size bulb(s) are those (edit: nevermind found it.. 194), and do you think red or blue would work, or would the red wash out to pink and the blue be impossible to see?

I put in blue 194s this weekend and it's about the same brightness as my white bulbs were before the change. Although it's not nearly as bright as that dash. Lol. I'm sure it's much brighter with the LEDs. I plan on LEDs and the glow needles from import intelligence. I also have a white face gauge coming from them. My windows are dark and I can barely see my gauges when they are up. I'm in for the group buy.

my boy pulled the "s13 owner" move too and got the 5ways off of ebay...i changed em for him and they lasted like 2 weeks. I only had one blow out on me and thats because when i was jump starting my car the other person switched cables and blew out a lot of things...

this is a noob question but you can change the color of the needel with new lights right? or do you have to replace all of the needels?

That is why I won't order any off of eBay. I'drather pay a little more and only change themonce. As for the needles troskinatior I believe that the needles stay stock. The kit import intellegince sells only changes the light source so the color ofthe needles are only affected when the lights are on.

I want some of these for my turn signals, but the problems is that when replacing with LEDs, they don't require as much voltage so the rate of speed is increased. How can I change to LEDs, but maintain the same rate of cycling? I wonder if the 13 LED lights will increase the voltage to reduce the rate of cycle to resemble OEM speed?

They sell a resistor kit on the website that will solve the blinker problem and another one to solve any problems with a light out indicator.
