Replaced all my panel lamps ( except turn signal) with the white ba7 bulbs. Very nice upgrade for not much money.

Hard to get a good picture with my camera.

So these bulds are direct replacement? No relays needed? Rheostat will handle the loads? Thanks for any reply...

do you have any before/after pics

LED's won't dim (at least not much ). No problem yet with the rheostat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I can send "after" pics next time its dark enough to photograph. And yes, direct replacement at least for everything but the directional arrows. ( mine were reverse polarity i think, didn't want to re-wire.)

Thanks,
The strips work really good, but the bulbs are better than the originals, and much easier to install. We have been using superbrightleds.com for a while for a bunch of projects, really good to work with, we just started to use some replacement led bulbs around the home.

Thanks for the compliment.

What do you need to know? We can do pretty much anything. Custom colrs, fonts, LED lighting, new internals for any gauge. All the info and pricing is on our website
