Default 95 civic LED cluster help??

So after a long time of looking at different forums and having different answers i have a question referring to the cluster/climate control "make over". I found this forum to be the most helpful:

https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/diy-eg-cluster-dash-lighting-modifications-2401422/

but i do not like the bright spots in it and i noticed he bought these bulbs:

http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...panel-led/219/

I was wondering if i bought these -> bulbs <- if it would fix the bright spots because they have a wider beam angle. or is it possible to buy either one of those for the #74 twist lock and buy these -> bulbs <- to insert them inside the twist lock for a full 360degree light?

If you look at the second picture on that page it shows several different colors on a cluster and it appears those same hotspots are there.

You need to find an LED with a wide output for there not to be hotspots.

You would have to use your original twist caps and just take the bulbs out. As long as it is a 74 bulb, it will fit. I know because I did it in my own car.

Edit: just realized thats a 194. Heres a 74 with a wide angle

There's a guy in the Marketplace selling LEDs. Try him. Haven't seen anyone complain yet. Best one I've seen so far is a guy that installed a few of these in his cluster.

Don't know why this isn't in the Lighting forum though.
