That is a cool chart. I bookmarked it. Per the chart the 168 has 3.00c.p. and the 194 has 2.00c.p. Time to pick up some 168s

Thanks for the great link

Go to www.superbrightleds.com and get some of there 5 pin led refractor style bulbs, they are 3-5 times as bright and will last forever!!! There are about a $1.00-1.75 more per bulb, but you only need 4 of them to light the dash up, the other 5 are for the turn,high beam, and brake/temp lights in the fuel gauge.
