what do you mean hot spot, can my LEDs damage something???

PappaSmurf · 04-22-2009, 12:10 PM

NO!!! a "hot spot" literally means that light is being focused at one place more than giving an ambience of glow all over the place.

cherrington17 · 04-22-2009, 03:22 PM

depends on the lights you got.

maybe... maybe not.

Kevin1114,
You need to talk to Cherry about anything LED related. He is the KING of LED...Just ask him how many LED's he has in his third brake light...("like 80"). HAHAHHA, LMAO

PappaSmurf · 04-22-2009, 10:47 PM

HOLY POOP, batman!
I only have 3" LED strip in my dome light and that works just fine. I ain't blind and have to light up the whole damn block, in order to see where to get into my car.LOL

that guage lighting was led and not 194 right?

PappaSmurf · 04-23-2009, 12:11 AM

Alero,
All of his lights are LED. If it were up to Cherry, he would change the Sun to LED.

194 is just the size. type of bulb varies. you CAN get leds with the 194 socket on them.... if your lazy.

did u sand the tips flat before you put them in, or were they already flat? if they aren't flat at all sanding them could help.

Ghadsphi · 04-25-2009, 07:14 PM

I like the guages, but I have reversglow guages (blue) . But I have red needles. If I remember the 194's fit 4 gauge bulbs, shifter, and outer turn signals. May also fit glovebox and licence plate but doubt it and never checked or cared.

doing blue reverse Glow, and red or orange needles

Cherry,
I agree, Hotspot central. I like the look of the blue LED's over the stock, however would like to have it without the hotspots. How would you best eliminate the hotspots? Would sanding the tips be better? Even (sanding)on flat tip LED's?

smurf... check the link lonnie posted... then look at the "led" how to's linked, in the link, in my sig.

mine have zero hot spots.

PappaSmurf · 04-25-2009, 11:06 PM

Cherry,
I have seen your interior too many times to count. LOL
I was just asking for reference. Tomorrow I plan on TRYING to clear my headlights and tthen onto researching the LED gauages. I am not as technologically gifted as you and have no clue nor patience to sit down with a soldering iron and create the things you have. I was just wondering how to eliminate the hotspots on bulbs already bought in the 194 base.
Thanks,
