hello people: A co-worker was just talking about them and he said it's just a plug and play. I do believe I've heard of these before but never did anymore? Any of youz made the switch?

I run this style in my dash. they are 5 SMD 194 style bulbs, mine I bought on Ebay

I literally just installed those ^^^^ I now have to pull them back out to swap with a different color tone. I will either land on icy blue to white.
 
hello people: those look kinda big. Do they fit properly or are there mods you have to do?

The picture is not actual size. 😉 These are a replacements for 194/168 style bulbs, I have this style in my factory Regal dash and also in my Autometer individual gauges in my Monte, they are very similar in size and disperse light very similar to a bulb, no mods for dash or gauges.

I'm glad the subject has been brought up again. I was just thinking about replacing all the dash bulbs with SMD type. I replaced the ones in my other car and what a vast improvement over the original bulbs.

I installed green in my Regal to match the factory color but for my Monte I ended up with white after trying a few different colors and blue was my favorite but as bright as they were it was hard reading the numbers on those gauges.
Also on my hood tach for the Regal I installed green but had to install white as the green would wash out part of the gauge.

I plan on just using white bulbs for my gauges, is a warm white recommended compared to bright white?

Same as what I put in my 1500, but I got mine from www.superbrightleds.com


If you don't have LED bulbs for your dome lighting, you're really missing out!

I have LED's in my dome light and the 2 footwell lights which are all a huge improvement over stock.
