    Hey guys, what are the options for dash/cluster lighting options? I'm after direct fit led options. I know there was a group buy using the search function, and I'm sure others have done the led option. I found a webshop in japan that sells led kits for various parts in the car. What options are there?

    I initially replaced the bulbs in my cluster with these (for the speedo/tacho faces):

    They were bright, but the lighting was patterned and had bright/dull spots at each quadrant of the gauges. Was not happy.

    Bought these ones in warm white:

    The cluster looks so much better. Please choose warm white, the cool white ones look nasty. Warm white looks much classier and suits the car.

    Use the dimmer T5 ("74 type") wedge globes for the indicator/highbeam. The dimmer ones are plenty bright enough. The brighter ones are rediculously bright and will light up your face as soon as you turn the highbeam or indicators on at night:
    Use these: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...-bulb-1-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/226/

    not these: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...md-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/227/1062/

    Lastly you need some NEO5 bulbs for the front strip of lighting under the front of the cluster faces:

    warm white for classiness yo.

    Here's an imgur album of my cluster with warm white (top) and cool white (bottom): http://imgur.com/a/CLmni

    That does look really good.

    Wish I had known that when mine was apart!
