Gauge bulbs

[chuck hahn]

Educate me on bulbs please. I looking at replacing all gauge bulbs with LED. Do they make plug and play mini bulbs or will i need some relay? If anyone has a part number for LEDs please share. And lastly, if i take a bulb to bulbs plus can they match them up?

Chuck, I bought this pack of LED bulbs to replace all the ones of the type in my clusters 6 years ago. They worked great. If they don't work one way, flip them and insert 180 deg.
This one that I bought in NLA.

But there are many more you'll find on the same page. Like this one. at $10 for 12, cheap enough that if you try them and don't like them, not that big of a deal.

Thanks Rich but wrong bases. I got the original metal bases with the two pins on the side. Guess you may call them twist in style.

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Ah, got it. Sorry, can't help with those.

BA9S are the ones

You'll also find them on Amazon for cheap, but there's a high failure rate on the cheap ones.

Something to think about. BA9S is the correct base and stock are 3.4 watt. I found the instrument lights too bright for extended night driving so replaced all mine with 1.5W (IIRC) except for the oil, neutral and turn signal warning lamps.

Thanks Sandy. I can try one of each before settling on which i want permanently.
