I've tried one of those brands with the single LED and clear diffuser tops. They didn't seem that bright.
For my gauge cluster, I used the PIAA High intensity LED "dark blue" bulbs. They do have an uneven cast, because of the way LEDs cast light. However, the color is great! If you're planning on getting red or blue, LEDs have a nice deep color. Regular colored bulbs like red will look more like pink. The PIAA bulbs have 2 LEDs per bulb which is nice. Make sure you get good quality LED bulbs and put them in the socket correctly or else they won't light up. If you're just going for hyper-white, then I'd go with the regular bulbs. |
