nvm i found out that there are not amber bulbs for #74. they only have them in #24 and #194 but they'll work.

I Finished this last two night, and it look really nice...:cool: i can see it better then the stock.

#194s are bigger bulbs so no. You really only experience hot/cold spots with LEDs because they dont project light in all directions as well as normal lamps do. What im trying to do, and your best bet, is to just buy like amber #74 and #194 bulbs and just using those. If your going to do a LED cluster, have fun because you have to add bulbs to fix the cold spots.

no #74 is to small for #194. But the #24 will work on #74. "there is no such things as amber #74. Amber only come in #24 if you want ember cluster."

You need one #194 "amber"
Four/five #24 "amber"

if you cant find #194 in amber, #168 also works (thats what im using).

So instead of doing this diy paint, you guys bought the amber bulbs?

So I need:
One 194# amber bulb
four to five #24 amber bulb, or #168 can fit as well?

This is a really good good write for the painting part, but changing the bulb seem easy, but might cost more money. heheh
