I replaced the 2 bulbs in the oil pressure & voltmeter with led bulbs, using the blue bulb cover. Now the gauges are showing blue lights. I guess the blue covers with the incandescent bulbs give the light a green tint. Guess I'll either do green LEDs or green bulb covers.

Way too expensive.

Much cheaper here: http://www.superbrightleds.com

I also get them from Hong Kong via eBay.

Your gauges must light up like a the airport runway. I changed out my oem oil gauge added a trans temp gauge all LED. Then drilled & moved the oem volt were the lighter was located. They are bright as bright can be.

Nice isn't it!

Will be changing all 21 in the gauge cluster soon.

I haven't pulled the gauges out yet, but I was wondering, since we're on the topic if someone could please tell me what the replacement bulb size would be. Mine are all dark. This thread just made me want to replace them. Thanks

Replace them with bulb size 194. I think they are originally bulb 168 but 194's are slightly brighter and last a little longer.

Go with 194, same bulb slightly brighter, should be the same price.

Here is a good reason to switch to LEDs.

Might be hard to see but there are burned marks from the heat of the incandescent bulbs.

Green LEDs installed for the center pod gauges.

Are you using the WLED Miniature Wedge Base bulbs, WLED Miniature Wedge Base bulbs with High Power SMD LEDs bulbs, or T13 & 921 Miniature Wedge Base bulbs?

Do they (LED) still dim?

Yes they will work just like the regular bulb lights with dimming.

Oh man, that's just plain awesome right there.

Forgive me if you've been asked before or if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but where did you get that shifter bezel...bezel?

Just noticed that too. Looks like it says Marauder on the side. Where did you get it? Lites look great. You might have a side line business here FBM:)

I was able to find green covers at Pep Boys for the 194"s. It looks good and blends with the other lights well.

That is a one-of-a-kind piece.

If you come to Marauderville VIII I'll introduce to the man who can make them.
