Description
This is the latest custom designed 12V LED bulb from HiPo Parts. These new 245 lumen Plasma SMD bulbs were specifically designed to produce a wide angle 360 degree light pattern that is optimized for instrument lighting. The ultra compact design of this bulb allows it to easily fit inside factory instrument clusters, even those clusters that use plastic filters to color the light. They are a plug and play bulb designed to fit perfectly into the existing sockets in your vehice.
We focused our design efforts to meet the challenges of lighting instrument clusters found in vintage vehicles. Because the gauges of vintage vehicles are the most difficult items to light, we designed these bulbs to overcome the common obstacles that affect those vehicles. The result is a balanced and efficient bulb that excels in illuminating instruments, but also provides outstanding results for other vehicle lighting purposes. They an excellent upgrade for side marker lamps, interior and exterior lighting, and other applications where a significant light increase is needed.
The main features of this bulb include:
- 20 Plasma SMDs that produce approximately 245 lumens with only 2 Watts!
- A non-polarized design for easy install
- Electrical contacts that are part of the PCB for a more durable design
- A compact design that is slightly shorter than a common 194 bulb
- Low Current Draw (approximately one half of the current drawn by an ordinary 194 bulb)
- Produces significantly less heat than a common 194 bulb
These bulbs feature a T-10 wedge type base (see chart for base compatibility). They provide superior results in applications where light is needed both from the sides of the bulb and from the end of the bulb to illuminate the intended area. These LED bulbs are the best choice for for gauge clusters, automotive side marker lamps, and more. Choose from six colors or mix and match to suit your needs.

Benefits of LED bulbs include: Low current requirements, low heat output, extra long bulb life (avg. of over 10,000 hours), no bulb fade with age, increased brightness, vibration resistant, and many more.
Note: T-10 type LED bulbs are polarized. If they do not light, turn them around in the socket & they will light.
