Autometer gauge mod!

[20psi]

If you ever notice autometer gauge lights look kind of bland. If you buy colored bulbs they start to fade after a month. Before you know it red turns pink and blue turns green. Well here's a simple mod that costs 10 bucks for a pack of two. LEDs! Autometer gauges use 194/168 type bulbs. I found them by typing "194/168 LEDs" on www.Google.com None the less it gave me a ton of links. Happy tuning!
Try it out. You"ll thank me later.

I never saw an autometer gauge lit in the dark, least not a new one anyways. Are they backlit, or does the light just shine down on the guage face (does it look like the factory gauges)?

The numbers are not back lit.But the bulb behind the guage lights the outer part so you can see the them.

maybe im a retard but i cant find any site on there that sells LED bulds, hook my up with a link or somethin. Those bulbs sound cool cuz the bulds that those gauges come with kinda suck. thanks

Autodynamic.com sells them.
