I bought some 194 red and mine are very bright......!! Make sure you didn't get LEDs because they won't light up your guage well......

blue is usally a very dark color light. if u want a brigther blue, my suggestion is to get some hyperwhites and then a blue gel cap and that will give u a bright blue.

You need to remove the orange color in the back of the gauges faces with acetone, then you will have brighter lights

well I had red bulbs also...and it was cool...but the glow was too much
I just removed the bulbs....but now the needles don't light up...but all the rest of the lights are bright..there are 5 bulbs you gotta remove

so everything else lit up like turn signals, hazards brake and everything just the needles didn't light up? I may just try and figure out which one goes to the needle and leave that one in

yup
seems like those 5 bulbs are the needles though
