white bulbs behind a red lens is wasting light. it will be brighter and probably cheaper if you match the color of the lens.

That's the one. Are you the guy that did these? If so, I sent you an email some time ago about that but never got a response. I assume that these are going to be sold?

i dont think u can change the color of the fd guages. they have amber in the guage, and just use clear lights.
is this what you guys are talking about?

Definately. The white bulbs from the page listed near the beginning are almost twice the price of the red/yellows and you are right about "wasted" light as well. The red lens will block all light except red, and paying for the white bulb which is listed as slightly brighter wouldn't help much.

However the ebay specials appear to be mostly white types. I have been browsing through the auctions and they appear to have several that mimic the higher quality bulbs of www.ledtronics.com with 24 led's total, 18 up and 6 radially outward at the base. I may try some of these out to see if they are any good.

I don't remember the brand but I bought them at the local AutoZone. I asked the clerk if I could return them if they were too dim for my trailer and he said sure. I bought a pair of three way bulbs for the tail lights which control parking, brake and signals. The LED bulbs are as bright as the originals and I payed about $20 for the pair. I also bought some LED replacements for the wedge bulbs that go in all my marker lights but they were pretty cheap. In all I think I spent almost $30 on bulbs and that will certainly buy a LOT of plain incandescent bulbs but my trailer blows them often due to the vibration. It was worth it for me to not worry about if my tail or marker lights were working when I'm driving home from the track at night in a small car with a small trailer.

Like I said, I bought the ones on ebay and they are pretty good. I don't remember the exact number of bulbs per wedge but I think at the least 6 and the most 8. I would choose these over stock anyday.

$600?!?!?!

HOLY CRAP!
They definietly look bright. I assume they are on in a brake application there. What about running lights?
