Wired my voltmeter. It lights up a bit yellowish. I need to replace the lamp bulb with an led

Bought WLED-WHP5 Cool White from superbrightleds.com. Let's see how that works out.

Edit: good news is that a led bulb works great. Bad news is that it works too great. How does one buy a led bulb that's not too bright?

Why would you get a voltmeter?

if the led lens only gets warm and not hot u can try putting some clear tape over the lens. it should cut the brightness down a little

Why not try a different 194 bulb that isn't as bright? Search Results For "194" | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs | Super Bright LEDs

Under each link here it shows the "Relative Intensity" so I'd recommend picking one that is a 1-2 out of 5 for brightness/intensity.

Awesome! Thanks. Didn't notice that. Obviously the one I ordered was a 5. Call me Tim the Toolman.

Is there a way to perhaps disable one of the LEDs? Maybe paint over it or remove it with pliers?
