gauge lights
leds will give you hot spots becase the light pattern is so narrow. It wont look good. I heard you can sand the tip of the LED so the light will scatter more evenly. If it works go with a wide angle 4 LED 194. Also what year is your car? 95/96 clusters have 5 194 bulbs, 97 have 4 194 bulbs (IIRC) and 98/99 have 5 74 bulbs (or something like that) with one that lights the odometer. If you have a 98/99 you will need to solder the bulbs in place. I have APC super white 194 in my 98 and they arent really blue but look nice IMO. If you figure out the LED stuff tell me b/c I'd like to do it too.
