Those numbers refer to STD filament bulb sizing, however with LEDs, especially wedge base led, they all fall under the same t5 designation as the wedge socket is the same.
The amount of light it emits is pretty good however as I mentioned the eg6 cluster has a resistor that limits the amount of light being put out hence my conundrum.
If I knew how to bypass the resistor then it would be sweet but I'm no electrician
In my research, I came across numerous posts on Honda-tech and various USA civic forums, most were dated 2005 and earlier, with no responses or solutions after that, one post mentioned that he was an electrician or a hobbyist and he was going to pull apart a dash to locate the resistor, he never made a follow up post.
It all sounded too hard and I know buggerall about circuitry, best I can do is change a light bulb. So I let it go, u should too, sometimes in life, u gonna get shafted, this is one of them times
It is t5. That's the wedge base socket. The top part, or "light" bulb area is wat changes. Some r a panel of LEDs, some just have the 1 led, some have 3 led in all sorts of configurations. The STD t5 tho that isn't an led will just be a normal filament bulb on top of the wedge, again sizes vary a little in terms of the filament but t5 is the size that fits dashes, there is a t10 but that won't fit in a dash
Those r the exact same ones I got. I got white as I thought they would be brightest, unfortunately the eg6 cluster won't allow the led to shine to it's full potential
the guy at jaycar even hooked it up back at the shop and it was very bright
if ur using any other eg cluster then I assumeur dimmer still can work, give it a shot u can always return for a refund
