Don't expect it to be very bright. I did red and can barely see the markings. I even went with the higher power t4s. Just letting you know

Has anybody found the T4 neo's for the HVAC controls on superbright?

I've already got these 74s and and these 194s but superbright doesn't seem to have the T4 neo's mounted similar to these.

I mean the green isn't every bright right now anyways..I'd just rather have it match haha

Edit: I've chosen to leave them green, they kinda match because the odometer is still green and it kinda matches

Oh, one more thing, when you 98+ have made your swaps to colors other than white, does your turn indicator illuminate with the hue of whatever LED color you have in your dash?

No it's still green and so is the odometer. All of the other stuff stays it current color. Pretty much just the spedo, rpms, temps, oil and volts turn blue. See the picture I posted above. That's only what turns blue/red/etc

Im having trouble figuring out what bulbs I need for '99 xj sport i know i need 5 74's for gauge cluster and 2 for shifter areas what about HVAC and switches?

No worries dude. Theres a lot of pictures on facebook that arent on there cause of the linking block thing... someone told me there was one or something like that.

But Im not sure on the t5 t4 stuff. I just bought some..If you buy the same ones as me the 194s wont fit but you can make them. and the 74s, Im pretty sure they all fit. But again im not sure on that t5, t4 stuff.
