Led in dash cluster

[Rudy913]

So these are the right ones

My car is a 1980 Malibu... also my grandpa had done the led upgrade on his Monte Carlo 1984 and they worked as well. I forgot Those ones that I originally posted were not as bright as I wanted my cluster.

The ones I ended up going with were 194-whp6.
They are more expensive but if you want bright and white those are the ones I would go with. Keep in mind it might seem like a lot $6.95 per bulb but you will never have to replace them ever again.

The original ones I posted I used for my turn signals, high beam, engine light, batt light Ect... they are brighter than factory still but I wanted a very bright white dash. It's not too bright to stand either

Yes those are the correct ones. Not sure if you've ever installed led bulbs but if they do not work flip them around 180 degrees and they should light up. They are polarity sensitive. Report back with some pictures!

Should I keep the factory bulbs for the blinkers ?do the led blink

Yes they blink if they are on a blinking circuit . Benefits of leds are less heat, brighter, longevity and if color is a preference I personally like the look of the white.

What I did was buy the $6.95 ones for the back lighting (6 bulbs) and buy the .99 cent ones for the turn signals, brights, batt, engine Ect that's what I did. I just wanted the least amount of heat and never wanted to tear the dash out again to replace a burnt out bulb that's why I went with all led.

beam angle for the 99 cent one which one do I choose 90 or 180?

always choose the largest beam angle. That means the light is projected in that direction. Example 90 beam angle will be a more direct beam of light than a 180which will be more of a well rounded light projection

So I should do 180?

Yep do the 180

 

[Rudy913]

Yep do the 180

My last question do the lights under the dash radio light and glove box light use the same led ?
