Hi List I have been very happy with the 194's and the 1156's LEDs from Jamstrait. I did my Dash illumination in red. I tried it with white and it seemed to be brighter than the stock bulbs. I didn't see a directional problem. I can see every gauge clearly. I'm using the 4 LED bulb 194 for the dash. Here's a link to my page with pics but it's not quite finished yet. Much more pics to add. http://home.comcast.net/~mquinto/led.html Regards, Mike
