What's everyone using in their dash? The OEM bulbs are 158s, but I was wondering if I could change them out with something else for a little more light.
Thanks.
Thanks.
FYI, I decided to do a little resurch on the bulbs and for my car (76 Duster) the original bulbs are 158 so here's what can fit.
#158 14v .24A 3.36W
#194 14v .27A 3.78W
#168 14v .357A 5.0W
Anyone use the 168 and if so do they get to hot?
There are only 3 bulbs that actually need to be brighter and they are not tightly enclosed so I am hoping for the best and am going for the 168's as they should provide the most light and maybe I wont have to turn them all the way up.
I did use the 168`s and they got very hot. I was afraid that I`d start a fire or ruin something so I removed them. They were nominally brighter and didn`t really make that much difference. The 194 may be an alternative but I don`t think you`ll really see a noticeable difference in the brightness of the dash lights.
Have any of you guys changed bulbs without pulling dash and lowering steeling column?
longgone in my use of the 194's vs. the 158's i was able to see a difference in brightness. i would say it is a whiter look as apposed to the greener look. i thought it was noticable enough anyway, so i changed all of mine to the 194's.
