Here's an updated link for the #102 led kit from Shiftworks:
https://shiftworks.com/products/led-dash-light-bulbs-replace-1895-57?variant=2989603946517

I took a look on Amazon for #194 led bulbs, and boy there are dozens of choices!
Many are in the $1 each price range. Light color is 6000k or 6500k, I'd prefer a lower color temp since it's less white and more warm like conventional bulbs.
Heat could be an issue so I'm looking for a bulb with a larger housing to act as a heat sink, and maybe a wattage of 2w or 0.8w. I'm presently considering the Sealight or Marsauto.

The Shiftworks bulbs look to be premium quality with the ceramic base @ $3 each.
It's tough to do comparisons without all the tech specs listed.

Which LED bulb would work in the factory console tach? Has anyone changed theirs out and have a picture showing the difference?
