Instrument Panel LED Upgrade

Hey guys, moving along well with the cossie, looking to swap as much of the interior instrument and gauge lighting to LED's in warm white, to stick to the original color, but with a brighter and crisper output, before I start disassembling everything to figure out how many bulbs I'll need exactly, has anybody attempted this project, I'm sure of it, I'm going to focus on the bulbs that illuminate the 3 gauges, window switches, hazard's switch, A/C and Temp. controls, and on to the speedometer, which I have looked up, and it seems that it is a little bit tricky since the way it's setup it currently gets lit up using fiber optics, getting a nice light output requires making small holes along the back of the panel and then placing bulbs inside the holes to properly emit the speedometer, trying to avoid that... maybe that was a specific model that needed, but I'm sure it was for the 190's

Thanks,
- Spiro Kokkosis
