DSSOOY 10Pack T10 194 168 LED Light Bulb PC194 PC195 PC160 PC161 PC168 Instrument Panel Gauge Cluster Dashboard Automotive Light Bulb White

These worked perfectly for replacing the lights in my car's console. They're bright (without being blindingly so) - especially at night - making the gauges and console switches easy to read. Installation took a few hours since I had to rip the whole dash apart to get to the sections that needed new bulbs. Can't tell they aren't stock, as they don't set off any sensors or anything despite being LED (instead of stock) bulbs.

Look good

Watching a Youtube video is absolutely necessary to take apart the front portion of the dashboard for installation. I watched several. The translucent film for the numbers and lines on the speedometer is blue. So the old incandescent 194 bulbs emit a slightly yellow tented light. Yellow light passed through a blue film looks green. LEDs however emit a pure white light, so when they shine through the blue film, the numbers and lines look blue. This was a nice surprise. Watch the videos several times and you probably will not have much difficulty.

The light output is not as bright as the old incandescent bulb, it could be because they are red. Installing these into the adapter housing for the instrument cluster is easy, but installing the adapter into the instrument cluster is a pain. The black adapter seems to be larger than the opening and took some force to get them in. I do not believe these are 400% brighter as claimed, and they are definitely not as bright as in the pictures. The red color is a nice touch for the older vehicles with incandescent bulbs. The LED is not as dimmable as the original incandescent bulbs, and I have yet to see an aftermarket 194 LED that is dimmable.

4 out of the 10 bulbs were already bad. They did not turn on at all. Not sure if i got a bad pack or if the quality control is just bad.
