New bulbs for my needles in the gauge cluster Options

[AnaXyd]

Hey!

I have ordered one of the plasma disc gauges to my T20:

(With white color)


And, in order to make my gauges perfect, I think I need to replace the ugly green color on the needles. Which bulb are these? 74, 168 or something else?


What color on the needles will be best with the white gauges?



Any answer will be greatly appreciated! You will get pictures when the discs are in place!

Okay! Thank you! Are they easy to replace?

If i plan to buy a LED 194, do I have to think about something special?

I don't think so, a package size is a package size so you should be alright just remember it should be ~27mm from the tip of the bulb to the base of it. You might have a problem with heat dissipation depending on the design of the LED array. (since I assume you are planning on getting an array of 3-5 surface mounts in a 194 package) There will probably be a resistor that brings the voltage down to a LED usable voltage ~3-5V and resistors produce a fair amount of heat... HOWEVER this will probably not be too much of a problem but if you're buying a cheap manufactured part on ebay or a sketchy internet site, it means that your "bulb" life will be reduced.

I am also going down this road and getting a few super-white 3LED 194 arrays.
