Yeah it did. It had plenty of people asking about using LEDs. And some people came to the conclusion that using LEDs would give you splotchy coloring. (really dark in some places really bright in others) If you look in the FAQ thread on the top of the forum it will be in there. And then read through every page.

Actually there is a LED made just for dash lighting. I tried it in a spare cluster I had laying around and it worked pretty nice. Unfortunetly tho the LEDs were for a different sized holder and wouldent fit propperly into my cluster. Ill look up the EXACT LED when I get out of class.

Correct. Using LED's for this application would not be "much better and brighter". The result is as you described above -- uneven light distribution and inadequate illumination. Traditional bulbs will produce the best results.
