Interior How-To: LED Gauge Cluster
#51
Some more data that might be helpful... from when I ordered the LED bulbs for my 1997 from superbrightleds (prices may have changed since then):
Qty | Product / Options | Price/ea |
================================================== ==========
2 | 74-xHP3: Wedge Base LED bulb | $ 3.49 |
74-CWHP3: Cool White
------------------------------------------------------------
4 | WLED-xHP5: Wedge Base Bulb | $ 5.95 |
WLED-WHP5: Cool White
------------------------------------------------------------
4 | NEOx-xHP: NEOx High Power LED Instrument bulb| $ 2.29 |
NEO3-GHP: 3mm NEO3-xHP Green
------------------------------------------------------------
1 | NEOx-xHP: NEOx High Power LED Instrument bulb| $ 2.29 |
NEO4-GHP: 4mm NEO4-xHP Green
------------------------------------------------------------
That was for the gauge cluster (white) the dash buttons (dimmer, cruise, fog, etc) and the HVAC panel. I forgot to order leds for the Hazard/Popups buttons though. I didn't have to use any mylar or anything to get consistent coloring for the gauges with the WLEDxHP5 bulbs.

Before Joe responds, i just wanted to say there's nothing intrinsically wrong with blue turns and the best part of all of this is to make your Miata the way you want. For me, I'm conditioned to recognize a blue indicator as high beams and red indicators as someithing wrong and needing attention. Green feels old and boring so I chose amber.

Nothing is wrong with blue, I just found it ugly. Btw, do not get the brightest led for any color or you will be blind. My blue turn signals are entirely way too bright. Refer to my led suggestions earlier if you want some direction.
Tadd, you merged them all funky, posts can't be rearranged. I will think of a way to fix it, once I have internet again.
