they say micro led... i have no idea what size that is. cuz the 5mm are too big to fit under there.
message phil on oznium and see if he knows anything, or can get his hands on smaller then 5mm.

I put them in before...when they actually worked, they looked pretty cool...they had to be probably the biggest pain in the ass that i've ever had to deal with (install wise). Not too mention, I never really got my needles back to where they were supposed to be.

Why don't you just save yourself the hassle and replace the stock light bulbs back there with blue LEDs?

Eh, I ordered them from somebody that used tobe on the site and have his own website...I forget his name though...I'm sure somebody will remember. They ended up coming from another company anyhow, he was just the middle man.
