VLED-s in my digital cluster

I'll take my cluster out and see how the sockets line up. In my head as long as there is 180 degrees of coverage left to right, straight down, there isnt any need for light to shine on the top half.

Besides I need to get an exact count on what colors I need for my "37" type bulbs.

I'm not sure about that.. let us know
I used the 360* bulbs in mine after trying the forward facing ones which were totally useless , I couldn't even see any part of the dash :hick:

The link you just posted was the ones I wanted to begin with, but didnt think I had that kind of depth available.

Leaving work now, I'll update my thoughts after I pull the dash out tonight.

Yeah, the forward facing LED's aren't enough for our clusters and whatnot - the center at the bulb will be bright and it will quickly dim off to the sides. Standard bulbs are narrow and tall, emitting more light out the sides to help illuminate the surrounding areas. LED's will always look different but any design that utilizes reflectors and puts out more light to the side will work and look much better.
