best LED lights type for dash cluster

[built2burn]

i used the 5led matrix ones but they dont light up the dash equally.
What would the best type be for an even dash appearance?

I was looking at these:

921-x12 Wedge Base LED bulb
921 Type with 12 LEDs, replaces 194/168/912 wedge base car bulbs
Wide 75 degree beam pattern, non-polarized
measures 1.20 inch long by 0.60 inch diameter


or should i go incandesant bulb(also how do the colors look coming from them)

I've been down this road before and still yet to find exactly what I'm looking for.

I first ordered these from Superbrightleds.com



Good color (I ordered WHITE), no hot sports either. Problem? It's too DIM. I gave them away to my buddy to use for low-voltage lighting project at this house.

Next I tried these (5LED Matrix)



Good color, and bright too. Problem? HOT SPOTS. Also, I noticed a few of the bulbs began to flicker after being on for a long time.

I did find a use for them (I ordered like 7). I replaced the trunk light. Also, my other car, Nissan Maxima has courtesy lights on each door and it uses wedge bulbs. It works good for that.

I tried incandescent next. I heard good things about Polarg bulbs, so I bought it off eBay.


Good light distribution, no hot spots, but.....It's not really white. The needles are about as white as you can get, but the gauges are like an eggshell white with faint green hue.

I didn't want to blow anymore money and it really doesn't look bad, so I stopped here for now.


I haven't tried the 921X12s yet, but I thought about those too. Hope it works out for you.

Where do these go into?

behind the dash(after you take it out and there are diy's on it) on gen4 camry
you just twist out the plugs where the bulbs are and replace
