Default Auto meter gauge lighting options??

I am currently building a gauge panel that will house a full set of autometer ultra lite gauges and I would like to explore lighting options the normal old "194" push in bulbs with the slip on covers are dim and shitty looking. Does anyone have any experience with the LED replacment bulbs from auto meter or how they look at night etc? i want the gauges to be bright and easy to read........ in either white or blue lighting any and all input is welcome....-thx Neil

Brains used LED`s in his gauges https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-swaps/603414-building-dashboard.html, Theres also a sponsor who makes LED`s that plug into the 194 socket, I think there name is LED Gauges.
