      I'm looking into this now too. Some people were saying that the 194 5SMD replacement LED wasn't bright enough. I found some 20SMD's in the 194 style thinking they would be much brighter. Anyone have any before and after pics and part numbers that have switched the dash lights over to LEDs?

      The only place I can see a 20 SMD LED bulb fitting is in the dome light
      ......which is recommended, but it will be the festoon style ends.

      You will not fit one that long in any dash bulb area that I can think of.
      Maybe a 9 SMD LED in the 194 wedge will fit , because some guys have used those.

      Anyone have any before and after pics and part numbers that have switched the dash lights over to LEDs?
      I have a few for a few applications with perimeter lighting.
      First one up is my 1970 442's gauges, after restoration of the gauges insides with fresh paint for maximum reflection.
      Left is incandescents, and right is 194 5 SMD LED's.


      2nd one is another member of Nastyz28 who took his new Autometer Phantoms and stuck
      5 SMD LED 194 wedges in half his gauges to show the difference.
