I bought these Red LEDs as a gift for my buddy because we’re deep into reviving a 1986 Ford Centurion pickup, one of those rare, head-turning trucks that deserves details you don’t usually see on an old square-body-era dash. The whole theme is red accents everywhere (switches, wiring, hardware, the whole vibe), and the instrument cluster was one of the last “still looks like 1986” holdouts. These bulbs fixed that in about five minutes. The backstory: we’re redoing a ton of the electrical bits, cleaning grounds, repairing crusty connectors, replacing tired sockets with bright LEDs, and generally chasing down every gremlin that shows up when you bring an older truck back to life. The original cluster lighting was… fine. Dim. A little uneven. That washed-out green/blue glow that screams “factory incandescent, 40 years old.” It worked, but it didn’t match the direction of the build at all. Enter these red LEDs. The moment we popped them into the cluster backlight locations, it was like the dash leveled up into a custom cockpit. The glow is bold, modern, and perfectly on-theme, not “pink-ish,” not “orange,” but a strong, proper red that looks incredible with the other new lighting. Even better: the light is much more even across the gauges, so the speedo/tach area and the smaller gauge pods don’t look like they’re fighting each other anymore. It’s that “before/after” transformation you hope for when you order lighting parts, and honestly, it delivered harder than expected. Installation: plug-and-play, no drama These are the common T10 wedge-style bulbs, and they drop right in like a standard 168/194 replacement. They’re also non-polarity on the spec sheet, which matters because nobody wants to pull a cluster apart twice just to flip a bulb around. On an older truck like ours (simple, old-school wiring, delicate ribbon-type plug), they were totally painless! These should be compatible with any socket that takes a 168/194 bulb. Brightness: strong without looking cheap A lot of colored LEDs look “spotty” or harsh behind a factory diffuser. These didn’t. The cluster came out bright and clean, with a nice, filled-in glow that actually makes the gauges easier to read at night. On paper, they’re rated in the ballpark of ~220–250 lumens per bulb depending on the listing, and in real-world use that tracks: noticeably brighter than the tired incandescents, but still “OEM+,” not flashlight-in-your-face. Build/theme fit: 10/10 for a red-accent project If you’re doing a cohesive interior color theme, especially red, this is one of those upgrades that makes your build look intentional. We’ve been refreshing the truck’s lighting and electrical piece by piece, and these were the payoff moment where you sit back and go, “Yep. That’s the look.” Final verdict: If you’re restoring or customizing an older vehicle and want lighting that instantly makes the interior feel refreshed, buy these. As a gift, they were a home run: inexpensive, useful, and they delivered a huge visual impact the second we powered the dash back up. Our Centurion’s cluster now matches the rest of the red-accent build perfectly, and every time the key turns, it feels like progress.

I ordered these LED bulbs to replace the existing incandescent courtesy lights in my Crownline boat. I wanted to have red lights as opposed to the white ones which were too bright for night time use as I couldn't see outside the boat very well with them on. Because these LEDs are red I was able to keep the clear lenses on the light housings so they don't look any different when the lights are off. When the lights are on they're very bright and look nice. A word of caution though, these LED bulbs do stick up a bit higher than the original incandescent bulbs meaning they do push against the housing a little bit. I was able to squeeze them in there and they look and work just fine. Time will tell on longevity but it seems that the last for a long time.

Usually run LasFit products but the last set seemed kind of dim and did not bode well with my light red lenses. I tried these mainly because of price and quicker shipping. At first they did not work but I ended up bending the power wires out a bit to make better contact with plug and to help hold light in place. Substantially brighter than the factory incandescent bulbs, even in the bright sun with snow as a backdrop. No fast flash or trouble in my old work truck.

The brightness is excellent, the color is good, but there is one downside: it doesn't fit well in the socket and wobbles slightly

Alla Lighting T10 168 194 LED Lights Bulbs W5W 2825, Super Bright Red 360° Cars, Trucks: No regrets. and no regerts. Fit my '99 TJ. For my two Interior cabin lights below the dash, by the floor/feet and fit my ceiling interior light. Rare and, great price, great value. Bright. Not hot in temperature, whereas my factory light were super hot, too hot, not good in summer. What a great find/buy.

I ordered other red LEDs to replace marine lighting and was very disappointed in the light output. I had to take my dash apart again to find better lights. Luckily I found these lights, that actually listed lumens (light output) in the description. I installed these lights in my gauges, after testing them on a 9V battery first, and they are BRIGHT. They are exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully they have a long life, only time will tell. As for now, they are bright and they fit, so while they are more expensive than my previous ones, they are brighter, and that's what I wanted.

These little guys are Awesome! Super bright just like the advertisement says! I’m super happy with them too!

These give off a brilliant, pure, red light. They're every bit as bright as I expected. Unfortunately the size of the bulb casing made it impractical to install in certain locations, as the bulb would not fit through the small openings. They fit neatly into other locations though, and improve the quality of the light output over other LED bulbs I have previously purchased. I cannot speak to longevity, as I just installed them June 2020. I will assume that they are long lasting, because they appear to be made quite well. I will update this review, if they do not provide the anticipated long life.

Installed with no issues and so much brighter

Super bright

So far so good! After one year they are working fine. Brightness level is very nice, was a direct swap from my incandesent side flashers on my smart fortwo.

Love it

I used this producto to replace the interior map lights; and, looks great; however, I want more clear; so, I switched to clear ones (white color); and, I am so happy with the results.
