Default 194 and it doesn't work well with LEDs....

I tried... the light goes through plastic to light up the whole thing, and the LED light doesn't flow as well, so the top of the gauge is bright, but the bottom and sides aren't so much, non uniform...

Default I found just using a red bulb that it was too bright

I wouldn't say it was pink or anything. So what I did was I put the red condom cover on top of the red bulb. I'm pretty happy with the look.

You could always try spray painting the bulb too.

Does anybody have an extra red bulb condom, or know where to get one?

Default I bought a red bulb at NAPA. Been in for more than a year and still matches perfectly. NAPA quality

vs PepBoys I guess.
