Product Information

Product Description

LED replacement bulbs can fit numerous vehicle applications such as vanity lights, map lights, dashboard lights, instrument panel lights, gauge lights and dome lights. This small 74 bulb replaces a variety of traditional bulbs including 74, 103 and 118 bulbs. The flat-tipped bulb has 1 LED that creates a wide 100° viewing angle. Miniature wedge base for easy plug-and-play installation. The energy-efficient bulb operates within a wide 9-14.8 VDC range and is designed to last 10,000 hours on your car, truck, SUV, or van—8 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Available in warm white, natural white, cool white, UV blacklight, blue, green, amber and red. Not sold in pairs. Price per bulb.

Part NO	CCT / Wavelength CCT / Wavelength	Brightness Brightness For best results, the LED color should be the same as the lens color. If the bulb is behind a clear lens, use the appropriate color for turn and brake light functions. When installed in a housing that has a matching colored lens, red and amber bulbs will appear brighter than white LED bulbs - even though they have lower lumen outputs. As an example: a red lens will filter out all but the red portion of light from a bulb, so if the light being emitted from the bulb is all red, none or very little light will be blocked by the lens. The light from a white LED bulb contains very little light in the red portion of the visible spectrum, so most of the light that contributes to its higher lumen value would be filtered out by a red lens. This makes the white bulb appear dimmer than the red bulb.	Beam Angle Beam Angle Beam angle is used to express the width of the light emitting from the source. The narrower the beam angle the more focused the light energy is. Comparing two 40 watt lights one with a beam angle of 30(a) and another with a beam angle of 90(b), They both produce the same amount of light output but (a) will appear brighter in the beam angle compared to (b) at the sacrifice of light spread.

Comparing Lumens Across Colors: Why Do Colored Bulbs Have Such Low Lumen Values

Lumen meters are a great way to measure white light output but can be deceptive for colored bulb intensity. Lumens measure light wavelengths in all colors of the visible spectrum. Because multiple wavelengths create white light and colored bulbs are a single-wavelength source, colored bulbs will have lower lumen readings. However, they will appear equally as bright as a white bulb.

Great for the price

Bought a 2007 F150, that came w/ green LED bulbs in the cluster. The green LEDs did not light the red needles, which was unacceptable at night, and one bulb flickered and drove me NUTS. Immediately after powering up replacement incandescent bulbs I hated them; the green film on the back of the cluster had also been removed, so they gave me a pink'ish yellow'ish dull light.. also unacceptable.

To superbrightleds.com i went. Having already spent $13 locally on incandescents, I decided to try these bulbs, which cost even less than that WITH shipping. I was nervous about the 6000k rating; was looking for more of a 5000k color based on research.

To the point: I'm satisfied with these LEDs. They light the gauges very comparably to the incandescent bulbs, but with a more modern silverish-white color (NOT a blue tint like i feared). To be honest I wish I would have went with the next step up, for the increased light angle (have some minor hotspots).. still happy though.

do not fit

The size of these bulbs is not slim enough to fit in the sockets. They are too wide to fit in my lexus bulb sockets :(.. The bulbs are very small already but a minor size difference to make them as slim as possible would be better.

doesn't fit without modification, otherwise good

These bulbs didn't fit the type 74 sockets in my vehicle.

They ARE modifiable: you can rasp/file down the thicker section until they do fit, as long as you're careful not to take too much off.

Light output is comparable to a stock tungsten bulb; this is appropriate for dash lighting where you don't want the distraction of high output LEDs.

Beam pattern isn't as diffuse as tungsten type 74 bulbs; it tends to shine longitudinally from the LED versus tungsten with 360-degree coverage. Again, this may not be an issue for your installation but be away of what you're getting so you aren't disappointed.

Great Dashbaord Light

Used these to replace the indicator lights in the cluster of my 97 F150. Work good for the most part but be careful. Some indicator lights will not work properly with LED's (battery light, ABS light, ect.) and be careful installing them I had the prongs break off on a few from taking them in and out too many times. Other than that They look alot better than the stock bulbs!

An IMPORTANT note!!

Great replacement for dim power wasting panel lamps - my hope is that I never again have to open the dash of my 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider to replace burnt out lamps...

HERE'S THE IMPORTANT NOTE!! - Alfa Romeo used a lamp socket that provides + power on one flat side of the bulb base, and - power on the other!! (As opposed to left-right connections) For the old glass bulbs, this worked fine because the contact wire for a bulb is only on one flat side, not both. The 74-R shorted out the socket.

SOLUTION: simply move the contact wires to the flat sides of the base before use.

'01 4Runner glove box (with some modification)

Bulb is a bit too fat to slot into the glove box bulb holder. Reduced the bulb's outer diameter to 5.0mm by mounting it in my drill and spinning it against a file - fits perfectly and works great now.

Doesn't snap in perfectly, but works well. Initially came loose, but since then has not come loose. Works great under the gear shift of my 2003 Accord.
