    Guage cluster bulbs dimming?

    I've had a set of Polarg Hyper White bulbs behind my guage cluster for a little over a year now. If it's not my imagination, i think they're getting dimmer and dimmer. Does this sound right?

    I had blue bulbs in my cluster for a little while, but they dimmed after a few months. I put in LED's, and they've been brighter and still staying bright for months and months now. Look around on eBay.

    ha. yes i have and it is up all the way. It's gone from what i think as a bright white to kind of a purple-ish.

    with the led's, is it an even flow of light? does it seem too directional?

    The LED's I have are clusters. If you look for the bulb (164, I think) on eBay, you'll see plenty of them that use LED's. Very bright and they distribute light evenly. Most people that see it think the car came stock with the blue because it looks so clean.
