How-To: Change your cluster color on 97-03
#31
So, theoretically, one could obtain blue 194 incandescent bulbs, install them and not have the typical LED hot spots but would still have a nice blue tint. Would you agree? I only ask because I powder coat these 194’s to the color I desire (transparent) and they never fade or burn to a different color. If this will work (in theory), I would like to try it on my 08.

Wide-angle LEDs would solve this problem but there are plastic runners inside the cluster that help disperse the light that are the shap of the bulb. My 194 LEDs are smaller than the incandescents, so they fit fine, but any other type of light that is bigger than the standard bulb wont fit correctly.

It does, but with the actual production costs of LEDs at mere pennies, I have personally had the plastic lense popping off and all sorts of problems with just a tiny bit of pressure. There is a delicacy when handling those things, as the prongs bend off real easily as well... Not to mention scuffing the surface won't yield visible results, IMO.

What was the verdict on the dimmer? Still functioning or not?
