I found the Narva ones pretty dull to begin with - although I've heard there's a new version out with low resistance resistors meaning brighter. So I replaced teh resisitors in mine with a lower value, sanded them flat and roughed up the sides for even glow and they're all good.

the resistors in these ones that i've got are inside the "wedge" meaning they can't be replaced 
i think there pretty bright, just the angle is very narrow thats all

If they got in the wedge then they can come out of the wedge. You've obviously not using a big enough hammer and soldering iron.

lol yeah i don't even know what sort of resistor its got. the wedge LED is just one i bought as a plug and play. I just thought i'd give them a go

If it works fine for you - great. If not, you can fix them or bin them.

I went to repco and got a plug and play type looks just like the bulb that came out except it has plastic sides and just pushes into the bulb holder
Put a green 1 into that clock i bought of you and it looks great. Only cost $6.50 ea Mal.. |

Do they spread the light evenly?Yes they are leds and are bright they are called "globe-wedge 12v t10 grn led" and the part number at repco is 47868. not sure how well they spread in the dash I'm doing that tomorrow but it is just as good a spread as the bulb in the clock. I'll let you know how well they go in the dash.. They come in RED BLUE GREEN and WHITE.. |
