Review on 🚘 Enhance Your Dashboard Lighting with YITAMOTOR 20x T5 3-SMD Instrument Panel Cluster LED Bulb Light Lamp 74 70 37 17 by Tom Lawson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good replacement for incandescent bulbs

I bought them in light blue and white. The LEDs are very bright and are the right size for replacing bulbs in the instrument cluster of a BMW F650GS Dakar motorcycle. However, since they are designed to emit from the same plane (one direction), they don't spread the light across my sensors as evenly as incandescent bulbs. Hence the effect of lighter and darker areas of illumination on my speedometer and tachometer. In addition, the spectrum of white LEDs shifts too much in the direction of cold white and drastically changes the original colors of the indicator and signal lights in the cluster. This makes the colors look weird and ugly, leading me to go back to the original incandescent bulbs until I found a suitable LED replacement. If I find an LED with a more even distribution for my sensors, I will replace those LEDs as well. But for now I can live with them. Note: I couldn't accept the lower price of these devices, which was about the best I could find. So I'm increasing my rating to 4 stars.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
