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

^^ 2bcelica, Are you sure the right and left gauges are even lighting? I think LEDs can only go in one way (polarity?), and maybe if you installed those two backwards, they are not lighting at all, and the two side gauges are being lit only by the indirect light from the center 194.
Reverse the bulbs in the socket and check! I dont understand how the bulbs can be the same and receiving the same power and light so poorly. You can switch it around and plug in the harnesses and see if they light before you bolt it back in the dash.

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.
