i'd go with with either the inverted bulbs, or the ones that look like 5 led's melted together.

I just bought some inverted-top 194's for my front turnsignals, from ebay (user id: warden_jp2002 ).
So far, I love them, they're very bright (even for a single LED), have the resitors already built-in, and they have that "instant-on" kind of look that I love.
It's nice to know that you can use 194 bulbs for the cluster, because most of the 194's with inverted tips have the resistor built right in, making this mod a WHOLE LOT EASIER.

Does the dimmer have any effect now that you have these LEDs in place, or does it dim to a certain point and then just turn off?
I also bought a 9-led festoon-style dome light from ebay, but it hasn't arrived...i'm curious if I'll still get that nice dome light fadeout like before...

the ones that i had in before would dim. but yeah, once they get really faint they shut off. but it's just like a normal bulb. they look good.

leds have no problem dimming. it will NOT damage them or cause them to burn out prematurely.
i have led's in my PRND321 strip, behind my vents, and in my door slits, which all dim if i turn the light adjustment up or down. (obviously up causes brighter, down is dimmer)
dome light and gauge cluster is no different...

i got mine off of superbright leds.com the wide angle ones and i have had mine in for about a year
i have had no problems with them except when i first put them in they would come loose but i was easy enough to fix. so if you are looking to make your ggaugesblue without doing any soddering go with them. i will try to put a picture up tonight. it is a much cleaner look to, i think. I also put them in my prnd123 and that looks good to. oh yeah i also put them in my reverse lights although i ddon'tthink thats compleley leagle but oh well.

only thing i don't like is the fact that you can tell where the led's are....
i don't mean that in offense... its just that every led style mod for the gauge cluster i've seen there are distinct darker cirlces where the center of the lights are...
i'd love to do this, but i want it to be uniform....
