194 CAN Bus LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Tower - Miniature Wedge Retrofit
194 CAN Bus LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Wedge Base Tower
Natural 4500KWarm 3100KAmber- Not sold in pairs, price per bulb.
Product Information
- The supervision resistor built into CAN bus bulbs are not intended to fix turn signal related issues, such as hyperflashing. Please See More CAN Bus Bulb Notes
- CAN Bus bulbs should work with most cars that have computers that notify you if a light bulb is burned out. However, some vehicles still might have issues - due to the unique electrical systems in these types of vehicles. Please See More CAN Bus Bulb Notes
- For best results the LED color should be the same as the lens color. If bulb is behind a clear lens, use the appropriate color for turn and brake light functions. Please See More LED Car Bulb Notes
Product Description
CAN Bus LED replacement bulbs can fit numerous vehicle applications such as trunk lights, hood lights, dome lights, map lights and footwell lights. This 194 bulb replaces a variety of traditional bulbs including 194, 168 and 912 bulbs. It has 5 LEDs (5050 SMD) that are radially mounted to create a 360° viewing angle for better, allover light emission with reduced hot spots. Error-free LED bulbs are designed to communicate with your vehicle's CAN Bus computer system and prevent "bulb out" error messages. Short, tower-style design with miniature wedge base for easy plug-and-play installation. The energy-efficient bulb has 12V DC operation and is designed to last 30,000 hours on your car, truck, SUV, or van—25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Available in cool, natural, and warm white, amber and red. Not sold in pairs. Price per bulb.

All specifications are subject to change without notice. 1. CAN Bus LED bulbs are simple plug-and- play LED bulbs which are made specifically for CAN Bus-equipped vehicles. These bulbs work with your vehicle's advanced computer system, so when your vehicle's computer reads them, they respond back correctly. To see if your vehicle operates with a CAN Bus system, simply remove the bulb you're looking to replace, start your vehicle, and if you have a "Bulb Out" message on your dash you have a CAN Bus system. |

| 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.  | Price Ea. | Weight | |

| 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. |  |

Hit and miss
I have ordered four of these now and on the last one I received only the LED at the tip of the bulb worked reliably. If you wiggled the bulb around in the socket the other LEDs would light intermittently and sometimes work very dim. I tried this bulb on more than one vehicle and had the same result. You may want to pass on this bulb and get a different one with the same base. The "194 LED Bulb - 15 SMD LED Wedge Base Tower" bulbs worked great and I think they are a little brighter.

That is a very popular bulb and we sell a lot of those with out issue. Of course once in a while one will have problems from the factory but not often. You are correct about the 15SMD bulb it is brighter. If you haven't done so already we can replace that bulb for you or you are welcome to return it for a refund.

Not very satisfied
First thing is color. I got natural white figuring I would split the difference between warm and cool, but in my opinion, these error too far on the side of cool blue. Light output (luminosity) was reasonable - about the same as the incandescents they replaced. Upon installation, 1 out of the 3 I purchased started smoking! The other two and subsequent bulbs worked just fine in this socket, but the fact that one failed makes me worried about the other two. If you can find a suitable alternative to these bulbs I would recommend choosing the alternative.

Thank you for taking the time to send us a review. Customer feedback is very important to us. Sorry that one of the bulbs has failed. I understand being hesitant with one of the bulbs failing but looking at the numbers for the WLED-NW5-CBT it has been a very reliable product with a failure well under 2% out of thousands sold. And the type of failure you experienced extremely rare.
As to the color they are listed at 4500K which has a very slight blue component. Something in the 4000K range would be more suited to the shade of white you were looking for. I see that the bulbs have already been returned. If you have questions or experience problems in the future please call us at 866-590-3533 and we will do our best to make sure you get the product you need and take care of any issues as quick as possible.

Not as bright as stock, but bright enough
I installed these in the third brake light on my '02 Infiniti QX4. They are not quite as bright as the stock bulbs, but I kept them. I wanted them to match my "45HP-LED 16mm Wedge Base 7443 Tower bulbs" that I installed in my tail lights. Now all of my brake lights are LEDs...I love the instant ON/OFF!

Great LED's with can-bus
At first I was worried that they would not work with my MB. I took my chances knowing that I could return them if they didn't work. Happy to say the worked great. Now parking lights look bright and clean vs. yellowish with original parking bulbs. My only concern moving forward is that there was no indentation on the base of the led. like the normal light bulb has.
Hope that they will not fall off the base; only time will tell. In the meantime kudos to superbright led's for such an amazing led.
I am a baby boomer so I am not great with technology, otherwise I would have posted a phto to show how great they look installed.

Great 194 bulb!
I used these bulbs in a 2014 Jetta Sportwagen as the interior lighting. Exceptional increase in usable cabin light (I ordered bright white). To my surprise, the "fade out" function still works as well, bonus! One of the bulbs had a single LED that flickered on and off, for a real 70s disco effect. superbrightleds.com has always been great to deal with, will return the bulb for a replacement.

they work...for 3-6 months.
i have purchased this same bulb so many times i lost count. i originally got them for my mercedes because i needed a canbus bulb. replaced all my interior and marker/license plate lights. light output is ok, color im good with, longevity- now here is the real issue! ive purchased at least 30-40 of these over the last few years for my two vehicles. i get maybe 3-6 months, sometimes less, before they start to flicker and one if not all of the 5 led's goes out. your probably thinking "buy a different bulb" which i totally understand, but... these have a specific color to them and other brands/bulbs just dont match. so its either replace them as they go out or gut both cars and start over. anyone that has taken the time to replace every interior bulb in their car understands why option two has not happened. also they get very hot. had to buy all new license plate bulb housings for mercedes. they do not have these bulbs in the new ones. if this is the bulb u need then fine, just buy extras!

We recomend the using Grease to keep corrosion from causing early failure of bulbs.
