    LED bulbs are directional so they shoot out light in one spot of the dash... I dont know about you guys but it doesnt seem like a perfect solution even though it may be brighter than stock (in some areas of the dash)...
    I put LED's in mine last month and it sucks ass. I bought the hyperwhite and they're frickin blue. So, I put the "blue" LED's on the side, and for the middle I used Red LED.

    I think I'll order another SpeedHut EL guage control thing and put my EL Gauges back in.

    I thought about getting those but wasn't sure if they would fit, so I stuck with what I thought would be safer. I was pretty pissed that the dude I bought them from charged me $4.95 shipping per 2 pack. It's was something like $14.+ for shipping and it came in one package.

    Thats why I'm not so sure about leds because the light is not evenly distributed and looks like patches of light, bright in one spot and dim in other.

    Redid my gauge cluster and switched out the normal 5 led with the SMT 5 led bulbs and they are 10x better. No hot spots.

    These are the ones I got


    Here it is on my car...sorry for the crappy phone pic


    Also for anyone who is planning on changing the dome light, I measured the bulb from end to end and its 44mm. just buy the ones in autolumination that are the rigid loop style.

    seems like anyone with the 02-03 gauges isn't as prone to getting the hot spots?
