Default I have some dash cluster lights questions. Re: LEDS

I need some help, I've searched the forum and can't seem to find an answer.

1. Are there lights specific to just the needles or are the needles lighted by the cluster lights?

2. Some where I read the recommended LEDS are WLED-xHP5 360 drgree,
Is there a reason why?
The WLED-xHP5 is a narrow bulb that produces dead spots.
I've converted a few dashes to leds but never on a D.
I've always used WLED-x5 220 degree, a some what wider bulb, from superbrightleds.com

3. If you went with blue leds, how bad did the red washout?
would you recommend cool white instead of blue?

Any help would be appreciate. Thank you.
