I was afraid I was right haha thanks for the reply!!

 

I ended up going with white face gauges, no tint just white vinyl worked out perfect!

They're cheap, their lights are good, and they have a tool that tells you what bulbs you need for what sockets on any vehicle.

Replaced my Cherokees dash and shifter lights with them a couple weeks ago and they're so much better now. Gonna do my Dakota's lights in the next week or so. Should turn out better since they're actually backlit.

 

More details please!!

 

Not trying to be rude here but I do a LOT of work with LED's, I can tell they are not cheap, there are much much cheaper places to get LED's. If you buy your LED's on ebay, along with the resistors you could do your whole dash for the cost of 1 or 2 of the lights on super bright.

Here are the gauge faces I bought, I am thrilled with them! Awesome customer service too!!! Also note while the auction shows KPH I got them in MPH (they sent me an email to make sure I got what I wanted)

Not everybody has the time or know how to put their own LEDs together and it's definitely not cheaper if you have to go out and buy a soldering iron for a one time job. I did my whole Jeeps dash, HVAC controls, dome, glove box, and shifters for under $20 on there. If you can't put together your own LEDs $1-2 a bulb isn't bad and they're not really pricey until you start replacing exterior bulbs.

 

Well perhaps your correct but a tool such as a soldering iron is an investment that can be used over and over. I'm not trying to stir anything up here just saying super bright is very proud of their products.

 

I agree. Superbrightleds is not cheap. Especially if you get the nice leds. I've spent $20 on leds just for a cluster before and I've had issues with their leds as well. Which is why I was wanting to wire up my own leds this time, cheaper and its a learning experience. Im pretty handy with a soldering iron so should be easy.

Those are the faces I bought, very nice!! But you still gotta use your stock faces with them. So theres still the issue with the blue filter in the stock faces.

 

I didn't use the stock face with mine, just put them on without the face, then used a light diffusing plastic on the back side of the gauge faces, which I got from tap plastic. Worked out very nice!

 

Hmmm I never thought of that, good idea!!
