Default speedo backlights dim?

I had my crappy gold lights swapped for new colors. They are not bright at all. My friend proffesionally solderd them. (he does pc's for a living so no problem there) and battery is fully charged. Got the part numbers from i-hacked.com. Double checked the part numbers and the're the same that was sent.

If anyone has different part numbers or digikey numbers for the following (ie: Sup-uni) please let me know. Thanks.

red ea3528surc (looks pink)
green ea3528sgc ( looks olive)
white ea3528rwc-a ( looks light blue)

Don't change the colour of your instrument lights unless you're completely certain that there are no anti glare or other filters in the instrument. Some filters block light of some colours. If the stock lamps are normal clear yellow/white but the instrument lighting is coloured, then there is coloured filter which will block light of any colour other than stock.

Thanks Sup! The white ones are the same #'s and the red I have is a letter off. (surc) Hmm? I'll call them and see what's up and what they can recommend. Doesn't look bad, just want it to pop brighter.
