I did a LED upgrade/swap about 3 months ago and 2 of the cluster LED's are not happy.
One unhappy LED is the oil and water temp and the other is the one above the gas gauge.
The oil one is flickering and the other one goes out and comes back on after about a 10 min drive.
I suppose now I have to tear the damn thing apart again before it drives me crazy.
Anyone else having issues with these SUPERBRIGHT LED"S?

I bought a few of their WLED-x5 194 replacement bulbs and had the same problem with two of them after about 6 months. Since I lost the receipt, I didn't bother trying to warranty them and just swapped in new ones. This time I kept the receipt!

ONe of the WLED-x5 194 was busted when I recived it. But they have been in there for almsot a year now, no problems.

I tell you, I DO NOT want to tear that instrument panel out again. The one LED on the left flickers when I drive. It is so annoying I almost got in a wreck the other night. The LED's are bright already and you can imagine when one is flickering. It looks like there is a police care chasing me inside my cab!

Well the LEDs are slightly larger than normal bulbs so when you put them in the socket they don't fit perfectly. You have to file down a little bit of the bloom to make them fit really well.
So my thought is you have no choice but to tear the dash apart again and fix it. And if the lights are too bright...use the dim switch. I love my Superbright LEDs. no problems for very near 1 year now.

I don't think that's the problem he's having, Belize. I had the Superbright LEDs in my dashboard and on two of them a couple of the radial mounted LEDs would flicker and then not work. So you'd have partial lighting from them, but spots of darkness, and the IP would be unevenly lit. I pulled them and tested them in other sockets and 2 or 3 of the diodes in the bulb weren't functioning.

Thats probably more like it, LEDs are very finicky.
