Brighter dash bulbs

[jimynick]

I swapped out to LED for all my bulbs, other than headlights (and that is next). Much brighter now, dash, brake lights, side markers, etc.

Would it be too much of an imposition to ask you for the part#'s and suppliers you got them from? They sound like a good idea! Thanks

I don't have a picture but thought I'd post the results. I used three led in bright white and they were far superior to the original bulbs. That's exactly what I was looking for. I think I'm going to switch out the tail lights and side markers too. Headlights are a future project. Amazing difference and the bulbs were only $6 for ten, delivered to my door. Cheaper than incandescent.

  Glad its working out!  I've been on an LED kick myself.  I have about 75% of the car changed over.  I realize with the turn signal lights you have to pay attention as there is a brighter flash for the blinker side.  IT was a trial and error thing when someone pointed out my front amber was not flashing right. Also a good idea to switch to a digital flasher for the turn signals.

Hadn't thought of that. When I get ready for the tail/brake/turn signals, I'll have to see what combos work. It makes sense that dual filament bulbs require a bit of thought. Flashers too.

Yep. I just turned it 180 and reinstalled.

I got mine from SuperBrightLED.com. They have bulbs listed for the Challenger but still was a bit of trial and error. They are pretty cheap, and have a variety of colors (to put red in rear and yellow in front as well as different white/blue). they dash lights make a big difference!

Thinking LED also for parking/turn and side marker.  I know the fronts are yellow, backs are white as wella s side marker?
What number bulb are side marker?  #1895?

Thanks

I see several BA9S bulbs listed on the site what ones work best for the dash lights??

  you might want to go with using LEDs the same color as the lenses, otherwise the resulting color might be off.  Ex: white LED + red lens gives a pinkish color, not red.

I used white led's. I'm happy with the color and brightness. They dim just like the incandescents.

Just finished mine. The bulbs I got were kinda bulky with the plastic frames so they were a pretty snug fit into the light bar

Did anyone have any trouble fitting the LED for the ignition key light?   Which colour did you use for that one?

Here you go !

If running a factory ammeter, never add any loads to the starter relay or battery terminal, all loads need to go on the alternator side of the ammeter. For simple headlight relays, go to the alternator output stud.

Thanks for this tip. 

I just got new red LED bulbs for my tail lights. Wow what a difference.  it may be the type of bulb as much as the colour, but wow!!!

@Cudajason
That is super bright, way better than the LED I used for my Challenger. I think it is the bulb type, definitely different. Can you give us the details on # and source?
