I ordered a bunch of LEDs from Superbrightleds to do all the gauge lights and I am about to install them. I realize that LEDs have a polarity, so if they are in "backwards" they will not light up and they have to be rotated 180 degrees. How do you know you have the right polarity for those that do not light up at startup and only light up when a fault is detected?

Sorry to bump an old thread but has anyone tried to do this lately? It appears the original bulbs recommended are discontinued and their website recommends the following:

Those are the ones I ordered, they work great. I ordered the Cool White but instead I received a bunch of Warm White, I notified them and they promptly sent replacements..
Here is a pic showing the difference between the two, speedo had Cool White and all other gauges have Warm White.

Thanks Laurent! Looks like I'll be ordering those bulbs then. I want to go with the Natural white color (3900K) but the cool white looks nice

I ordered too many and I have a few leftovers in various colors. I can send you a couple if you want to see what they look like.

Thank You Laurent that is very kind of you and do appreciate the offer. I wish I saw this earlier but I had already placed my order and should be arriving sometime next week.
