those #74's are kind of pain to get to stick but there the correct bukbs and you just gotta play with them a little bit
 
Do they make a yellowish color? Close to OEM? If so anyone have them? I will be needing to do my dash soon and might as well do the rest.
 
im still working on a solution to the hotspots but as for these there not too bad. the red lights in my HVAC aren't from Superbright, its a whole different LED unit... long story bout those lol... but yeah those ones are probably my most noticeable hot spots. all the others seem to be not so bad.

My plans are to line the inside with a reflective tape so the light can spread out more even, and then using some sort of filter in front of the bulb to keep try and frost the light a little but you've probably seen my pics but this is what i have

The ones i got are a warm white compared to my dome lights. they are basically a pure white that's closer to yellow than it is to blueish white

Cool. I have had MANY a headlight w/ LED for camping and climbing but sometimes you just like the glow of the maglite just a bit better. you know what I mean?

I just prefer the longevity of a LED better. Since I will need to take it apart to replace anyhow I might as well replace it with something that will last.

your's looks great btw. Ever thought about HVAC 1 sided tape? Its like sticky tin foil.
 
Did u get ur guage lights from VLED? and if so what ones go behind the dash? bc i cant find em on there, and i wanna do blue not white

thanks man, yeah ive seen that stuff, in fact last night my bulb was loose in the HVAC controls so i took it apart and when i put it back together i grabbed some tin foil and taped it all over in there. It spread out the light a lot better then before but im still getting hotspots. i didn't spend a lot of time on it so one of these days im going to do a more professional job

but yeah LED puts out the light a lot different then those maglights, you can never go wrong with a maglight! however i do have this head lamp (for my head) that has a few LEDs in it and the single one is so bright! it beats any flashlight iv'e ever owned.

no i didn't get them from VLEDS, but my next order will be from them for sure The ones in my guages are from autolumination but know that the bulbs there have a tendicy to burn out real quick, a lot of people here have used them and have had them burn out. My guage lights are the only ones that have suprisingly survived for almost 2 years or so snow so im just waiting for the day that they do.

here ya go i think its the complete list with links of the bulbs you need. Now i didn't order from VLEDS so just as long as the bulbs are all classified the same it should all be correct

3 #24's for the guages
2 SMT HIGH POWER BLUE WEDGE BASE LED LIGHT BULBS 24

#74's for the shifter, the glove box and the cig lighter and key ring
2 V-LEDS 3 SMT BLUE WEDGE BASE DASH LIGHT BULBS 37 74

neo wedge T3 you may have to call for the color? but 2 of these for your buttons
