Really DUMB LED and filament heat question!
I know this is a horribly dumb question, but how hot are LED 194 bulbs vs. filament-style 194s?

LEDs dont produce nearly as much heat.

Nice, thanks! I swapped my OEM bulbs with 194s on my cluster and the cluster is getting a little hot. I am going to switch over to the LEDs so it's not as blazingly hot.

LEDs dont give a good light pattern, stick with the stock wedge bulbs..

How about the 5-LED 194s? I would think that they would emit a fialry uniform pattern.
