Anyone using LED's for interior / cluster lighting? Need to repalce a bulb in the cluster thought I would upgrade while I had it out. Looking for a source to buy as well. Thanks

actually, i've not done the LED on the interiors. not having read up on this,
i'd like to know of the cautions to this as well. the only LED mod i've done
has been add LED to the rear license plate. i played around with EL light
cords but didnt like the results so i pulled them. i was trying to create some-
thing like the S series but failed to get a smooth, integral classy light in my E320

The light
when you can find on that fits and is the correct wattage,is to directional and the back lighting from the dash cluster looks bad.It's like how surprised you are the first time you pull the climate control cluster to replace the buld and you think how the heck can such a tiny bulb light up that whole display? single led would only light up the center.Since the actual diode is only the size of the head of a pin and the lens shoots the light out straight unlike the tiny incandescent bulb.

What did you finally decide on? Color, Brand, where to purchase? I 'm still not convinced I shouldn't use them. Thanks.
