LED's
First off, I searched for this and had't come up with an answer so i am posting this question. I was wondering how many LED's to purchase for the gauge cluster and which bulbs would be the best to use (single led's, or the 5 or 6 projected beam etc.) I am looking at superbrightleds.com for the bulbs. Sorry for the dumb question but I am currently at school and dont have my car with me to look for myself. thanks.

I have the single wide angle LED's in mine (pic is of when I had blue in, I would suggest another color though as this was hard on the eyes, way too dark, I know have amber and they are perfect). I used 3 for my cluster.

I do, you have to be careful with them.Other than that hide the little box.I hid mine in the crossmember that holds the steering column up since I wasn't going to be adjusting them.But I was happy with the turn out on my white se gauges.I had the blue colored needles, and just so you know its a little ring that goes around the bottom of the needle.

if you buy colored bulbs...buy them import intelligence. I first bought the cheap ones from autozone and they faded within 6 months. I've had the red import intelligence bulbs for 1.5 years and they still look great.
