So just swap 168s in place of 194s?

Is there any issues with the 168 bulbs burning hotter?

I'd hate to melt something in the cluster.

Ditto even though ill be replacing my cluster with a classic instrument one next year but bright lights now might be nice

No problems with heat for me.

I also removed my fiber optic cable and wired an LED into my shift pointer. All came out much better than I had even anticipated.

How difficult was it to add the LED to the shift pointer? I'm missing the fiber optic cable and this sounds like a nice solution
