What bulbs did you end up using? Only radial firing, or radial with one pointing forward?

I went with a 360* beam. In the style I chose, you get 6 radial beams and none on the top.

This way the gauges get proper lighting all the way around just like stock did. They cost more but there is NO spotting from a single bulb. Those pics I took are crappy iphone pics....in person they look GREAT and not overpowering!!



I went with these:


Here's what i just ordered:

5 - Cool White WLED-CWHP6 (to light the cluster)
2 - Green WLED-GHP6 (turn signals)
1 - Blue WLED-BHP6 (high beam indicator)
1 - Cool White 74-CWHP3 (Auto tranny gear indicator)

These were a direct plug and play the even dim with the dimmer.

There's a large thread on my forum titled "Paging DBIZM" that tells you what to order and where...

I'll have to see how mine turn out - I have the LEDs with 4 radial and one pointing forward...if there's any hot spotting, I'll swap them out for what you have.

I'm interested in knowing how bad of a spot they get, if they even spot at all. I just tried to avoid it at all cost since i've seen some REALLY spotty gauges. Goodluck.

Not at all. They look like a bright, bright white. (these dont have a high enough temperature to have any blue) If you come tonight, you can see for yourself.

They really do look like they do in the pics!
