I've tried a few cheap led replacement 194 bulbs, only to have them burn out after just a few days of use.
Anyone have better luck with theirs? Any specific brands to stick with? Im looking for something that will work well for the rear license plate, not to illuminate the gauge cluster. This post has been edited by lagos: Aug 22, 2009 - 11:05 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

what kind of leds did you get?? invert cone style? 360 3mm refractor, SMD chip type, simple 5mm led?? I noticed when i bought 194 from my friends shop ($10 a pop) they were really good for awhile, until my tach bulb started dimming more that the others. asked my friend, shop owner, he said my dimmer switch might be on full crank and its reacting like how led turn signals would. Ahhh frick its too early in the morning for me forgot the exact words he said
 If your gonna just do your plate lights you prolly want something shooting down, not forward, cuz i used diff. types and the 360` type works best.
