194 bulbs from eBay lasted 3 weeks before they started blinking then went completely out.

.



he didnt ask if they will work for 10 years he asked if they would fit, if they are a 194 bulb they will fit, if they dont fit then they are not a 194 bulb

A 921 will fit in a 194 socket but that doesn't mean it's right for the application. All we were saying it that the 5 led lights from superbrightleds.com are bright enough to work well for dash lights.

Listen.... I'm not going to argue with you people.. do what you like. But i can tell you from experience that using ebay 194 bulbs, which BTW 921's also work.

That if you get the ebay ones you will get what you pay for. But WTF do i know right? Spend your money... enjoy your bulbs. Let me know how it works out for ya.

Sure.. for gauges. But for cluster? No. Sure any LED 194 bulb will work but you will get dark spots. Unless you go with a 360 degree bulb.

No kidding, I had to find out on my own when I got more gauges. I thought I would save some money instead of buying quility right of way. Spent $15 on eBay ones, when they started cutting off on me while I was driving I finally spent $30 at SuperBrightLeds and they are still kicking a year later.

once again im not saying anythign about the quality of any product, never once told anybody to buy any brand, try reading i am simply saying that any 194 bulb will fit in a socket for a 194 bulb so there is no reason for them to ask if it will fit when it clearly says it is a 194 bulb

and yeah a 921 will work, so would a 161/168

Ok... yes... this is true. BUT..... A 16 LED 194 will not work in the cluster nor will a 500 LED 194. Understand?

I get what your saying. Do we know what the largest amount of LED's will physically fit inside the cluster?

Yes you are right on a 194 bulb from Company A and B is going to be the same.

The way your post was worded was similar to say, An SR20 Clutch cable is an SR20 Clutch cable. Doesn't matter if it's OEM or an Autozone special. But as anyone that has ever used the Autozone special will tell you, the special will not last as long.

The largest I have personally used was 16's. The ones you want to get are the WLED-xHP9-T Wedge Base Bulb. They come in White Blue Red and Amber.
