Autometer LED upgrade page
I have an Autometer "Carbon" Boost and F/P gauge. Both of which have sub standard lighting from the manufacturer. So after some searching I found it is a common 194 bulb and I could drop an LED in there. I ordered a pair from brightleds.com at 14 bucks shipped and had planned to review this weekend. Low and behold I found a set at Wally World cost was 8.91 a pair for white, blue or red. So I decided to eat the 8 bucks and see how they are. While I don't have a pictures of the gauges with the stock incandescent bulbs the difference is dramatic and about a perfect match for the stock cluster. Ill be reviewing the brightleds.com bulbs this weekend and will add some pictures to see if they are any brighter. They bother have 5 LEDS and a 360 degree light pattern
Here is what I got Web site says 180 lums
And heres how they look

Just an update the Superbrightleds.com ones came in today:
https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...rofit-car/206/.
They were maybe 10-15% brighter than the ones from wally world and were 2-3 mm shorter. They looked almost identical but did produce more light. I tried to move the Walmart ones to the foot well but they seemed to be too long, So I moved them to the trunk. I think they both produce acceptable light but the Superbrightled.com were brighter to I kept them in the Autometers.
Walmart 9.50 ish after tax said 180 lumes and the SuperBrights 14.10 shipped said 75 lumes and were brighter.
Id love to see if these would work in the Autometers but not sure they would fit.
