Gauge Cluster Tip, Not bright enough? Options

[lagos]

For the longest time I always felt like that stock green gauge cluster was always light too dark and kind of hard to read at times, and just over all didn't look right at night. After a little bit of research, I realized that 168 bulbs are exactly the same size as the stock 194 bulbs that the cluster uses, but they are a higher wattage bulb, so i decided to buy a set and try them out. To my surprise, this totally fixed the problem! Now the gauge cluster is nice and bright and light up more evenly and makes the whole cluster look a lot better. It really feels like toyota should have used these bulbs from the get go, so I thought id pass this along in case it was an issue that bothered anyone else.

length doesn't matter for the gauge cluster, it is the bulb fitment. It would have to be an inch or more longer than the regular ones to cause problems. the bulbs just sink into the open area of the cluster to light up the dials and gauges. Don't have a pic right now, but I am running them.

Hmm, I'll have to check it out again before ordering anything, I was pretty sure the bulbs hit some transparent plastic inside the gauge cluster, but let me turn back after measuring the depth of the hole...
