got LEDS!, anyone else use these? Options

[gjunon]

alright i bought 3 ultra bright blue LEDS and 3 resistors and a blue light up switch
what i need to know is how bright will this make my guages because i do not want to be blinded if it is to bright i was thinking of putting them inside the case with my gauges and make some sort of plastic top peice to keep them out of my eyes and point them at the guages anyhow has anyone ever done this?

uh, you can just buy some LED bulbs and save yourself a whole lot of work.

[gjunon]

well they dont have them anywhere around and i dont feel like waiting to get them off the internet. i tried the 194 bulbs they dont work very well so LEDS are the next best thing

check out my profile, i got BLUE LEDS in everything. What do u think? I got them online it was quick

[gjunon]

the only bad thing i could figure was that the LEDS are not brite enough but then again you could also use the other lights the 194's in your dash also so maybe it all works out i have not been able to finish mine yet i have it all wired up just not installed in the car yet

[sapperk]

I went the easy way and bought an ultra bright LED kit - it plugs into the cig lighter, and you get two mini-spotlights that rotate on a base. I'm thinking of getting green instead because of all the console lights.

Picture is kind of strange looking, there is more spread in RL.

Man at first i thought you were gonna post about the Tirefly LEDS...thank god you didn't

My friend has blue LEDs in his Tiby, looks nice , i wouldn't mind but my interior is already green and black, i think it looks good.

Yeah, over in Japan those sell like hotcakes. I had some hooked up, shining on my gauges just like that pic before I got my Indoglos. Then I had some shining down from the plastic dome light and som ein my rear glass and they looked pretty phat. They interface with a regular cigarette lighter adapter, I had a multiple adapter (4 slots) that I had hooked up under my dash. If anybody wants some they're dirt cheap over here at Autobacs and just mail me and I'll give you some more info.
