damn
youve got a 97
do you think its the same lights as the older interior?

 

Yes.The amount of lights in theinstrument cluster may or may not be different though.

 

stan, this just hit me..
if you used white LED's, what makes them blue? i think im gonna order some tomorrow..

 

If you look at them during the day, they are white. At night you can see a bluish tint, and that's whats you're seeing. Just like the HID's I have. Everywhere I look, it says that 4300K = pure white (or something along those lines), but as you can tell, there is a bit of a blue hue to them.

 

i didnt even realize the whites could be that blue.. just curious.. how do you think UV LED's would look? i thought about blue, then thought about purple to match the car.. i found some UV's that are kinda between blue and purple, and kinda blacklightish.. not sure if it would trip me out or give me cancer though..

 

I'm sorry Bill, I lied to you. I got curious as to why they were blue. Took apart my old gauges, and sure enough, the back of the gauges is blue. Here is a pic.

what does this mean, its the thing on the sylvania website that says which lights you need

Instrument-general
161
194
194LL Long Life Upgrade: Up to twice the life of the standard lamp
37
73


i have to get a buncha different bulbs??

 

I'm not sure what is different about the 161 and 194, but they look exactly the same to me. Some in my gauges were 161 and some were 194, but I replaced them all with 194 LEDs. 37 and 73 are the same way. I put a Z gauge cluster in my car, and I can't say I remember needing the 37 or 73 bulb. Though I would have one extra just in case.

 

Okay cool so 194 and 161 are the same, and 37 and 73 are the same, but 161 and 73 are different?

 

Oh and I got some done, but I had to make these, I didnt just buy replacement bulbs. I dont think I'll try that behind the dash though lol. Theyre so bright and look AWESOME and all the parts cost less than $18.
