Default LED for Gauge Cluster?????

I want to change my gauge cluster bulbs in a 1996-2000 civic to LED. I found some LED at http://superlumination.com. But I dont know if they'll fit into the gauge cluster, because they're a little bit bigger than the regular bulb. Anyone with any experience with these LED light????

from http://superlumination.com:

#74 bulbs replace the following bulbs:17 18 37 70 73 79 85 86 2721

Bulbs are 3/4" (20mm) x 3/8 (10mm)" diameter at widest point with T5mm base to fit standard #74 or #37 sockets.

#74 too small?.....#194 too big?.....This is your bulb:
#24 (T6-1/2, T2-1/4) bulbs are 5/8" (15mm) x 3/8 (8mm)" diameter

47 dollars for some leds is pretty expensive.. I'll let you know how they are when/if they come in.

the led's will lokk 100x better tahn stock and put off great light. Plus with the multi-bulb application you don't have to mount extra bulbs tog et rid of hot spots or fill gaps.

Eran has a writeup for it in his sig.

Also the sticky at the top has a write-up too.

Also if you do a search on google you can find 2-3 on the first page from other forums.

i put the red ones in my jdm crx cluster and it was orangy and it really focused the light on certain spots instead of scattering the light evenly, I went back to stock asap.
