: Autometer Ultra-Lite... Need brighter bulbs?
sjl_dmax 11-21-2005, 11:32 AM I have 2 Autometer Ultra-Lite gauges w/ the white face. At night, they just don't seem quite bright enough. Anybody here, replace the bulbs that came w/ the gauge w/ something else? Can they even be replaced w/ LEDs?

Does anyone have a pic of a guage w/ these on? Looks like they run about $13 a piece at Summit... Feels kinda steep...
But at least I have options... Thanks Aziator!!!

Thanks wealthywitetrash...
I tried to find it on their web site but it's not very easy to find anything other than Ford upgrades...
I'll have to give them a call...

sjl_dmax 11-21-2005, 06:31 PM Well, figured it out. Had to pick a truck range first to see the gauge accessories link then found it. At 7 bucks a piece, I just went ahead and ordered it. Will post feedback on how much better these are when I get them. Will also post pre and post pics...
Later... Thanks again wealthywitetrash... (just feels wrong to say that screen name... feels like i'm insulting someone... :o: hey thanks whatever your name is... :ro)

I just went to ITPdiesel.com....they wanted to charge me over $8 to ship 2 LED's via UPS ground. Isn't that kinda steep?

I ordered the blue ones as well and I should be getting them tomorrow. Can't wait to put them on. Man the gauges on your avatar look A W E S O M E...:eek: :ro) :cool2:
Bobo. I'm in Colorado and my shipping was just over 5 bucks. It did seem a little high for 2 little LEDs but hey not too bad. That just it w/ buy stuff on line, usually I buy a list of stuff to aliviate the shipping charge...
Later...

wealthywitetrash 11-28-2005, 07:42 PM yea my shipping was only like 4 bucks but i am in california and they are shipping from arizona so it wasnt to far
moss022 11-28-2005, 08:28 PM it was 8 for me too, but if you went through summit or jegs, its still like another 7 or 8 bucks too. its still under 20!(i only needed one!)
moss022 12-04-2005, 01:13 PM well worth the money!! that light is awsome!! it has an awsome glow to it
sjl_dmax 12-05-2005, 10:14 AM well worth the money!! that light is awsome!! it has an awsome glow to it
I second that. It took me 10 min to take the pod off and replace the bulbs. The hard part to wait until it got dark to truly see it.
The cool part is that the need now glows where as before... the red needles were hard to see especially on the pyro...
