here is the site I bought my LED's from... http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...ini-wedge.html
I bought the WLED-x5 in blue. They produce a 360 angle of light, rather than a "spot light" type bulb. I figured it would give a good balance of light across the panel...

I should add that the bulbs I bought are a pretty tight fit in the instrument panel. I did this a couple years ago, and it seems like on a couple of the bulbs, I had to ream out the panel a little bit. The bulbs replace the stock ones, but I found it a little hard to get them inside some of the holes in the panel.. I probably could have gotten around drilling the holes out a little bit, but I didn't want to force the LED's in...
It may sound like a PITA, but overall it was a pretty easy job. I just wish I would have done a write up on it with pictures and posted it on here......

The ones behind the insturment cluster are the same type. When I get time today, I will find out the exact type and send you a link to the site where I bought my LED's. And the insturment panel tint is already in blue (blue + the yellow incadescent bulbs make green!) so the blue LED's look really good.
No special wiring needed. The LED's I bought are made for our trucks, so they fit right in just like the OEM bulbs.
When I get some time today, I'll post some more info....
Oh, I have a pic of my instrument panel in my profile if you want to check out what the blue LED's look like once they are installed.....

If I get the super bright reds will they over power the tint and just be red?
