Now that it is getting 'cold' in NorCal this gives me something to do in the garage! Thanks for the info Adam!

Four. And you don't need to spend an extra buck on the base (which is somewhere on the superbright site), you can just pull the OEM bulbs out of the base and insert these.

BE WARNED! LED bulbs have a polarity. That means they can be inserted "backwards" and not light up. Super easy to fix, just spin the bulb around and put it in the board 180* different. But it's annoying if you button everything up, try the lights, and find 1-4 of them not working.

I meant to mention that in my first post. I installed them and plugged the cluster in, took note of which ones were not lighting up, flipped them, and all is well.

I actually found them on ebay. But it's a hit or miss with quality, but for the price, I couldn't argue.

I recommend them to all my customers who want LEDs.

Adam, are they dimmable?

[twiztog43]

They should be. Every led I have tried in the miata and mr2 clusters were dimmable

Yup. Brightness is adjustable like a regular bulb. At least the ones I've received from superbright in the past have this feature.

That's one thing - the brightness. At full dim, the LEDs are about as bright as the original bulbs at full bright. They're really really bright.

I don't even have my OEM bulbs at full brightness. I don't like being blinded by my dash lights. Of course, YMMV

I've been thinking of switching over to LED as well since all of my exterior lighting is LED. If I do, I'll be going with the green ones for the gauges. Also be replacing the smaller ones for the indicator lights.

I bought some higher quality LEDs. These

They are much better.

I always worry when I see cheap LED's as I wonder what the failure rate is.
