Replacement Dashboard & Panel Bulbs for Cars
Identifying Your Bulb Type
The first step in selecting LED bulbs for your instrument cluster is identifying the type of LED bulbs your gauge cluster uses. If your vehicle uses the 194/168 type or the metal based BA9S bulbs like 1895 or 1445, then we can provide LED and SMD products to meet you lighting needs.
The following tables show base interchange between common incandescent bulbs and the LED bulbs that share the same base. In most cases, LED bulbs will replace incandescent bulbs without any fit issues. However, in some instances, LED bulbs may be slightly larger and interfere with the housing or other nearby obstacles. Be sure to confirm that your application has sufficient space for LED bulbs that are larger than the incandescent bulbs that they will replace.

Determine the Bulb Purpose
Gauge clusters use lights for two general purposes: 1) Illumination of the Gauges and 2) Indicator and Warning Lamp Illumination. The type of LED bulb that you need should be based on the purpose of the bulb in the gauge cluster and how the cluster uses the light from the bulb.
