Does anyone know what size the single LED's are from Oznium? and are they a fairly spread out beam or significantly more focused?

i think his are 30 degrees of spread. i've heard of larger, but the only ones i've gotten are from him and they work great for every use i've found.

they're 5mm with a 30 degree spread, you could use them for your gauges, but you're gonna see some bright spots. the best thing to do is coat them in hot glue with a flat surface to spread the light out.

or you can get inverted cone LED's so it spreads out more. are we talking about the back of the gauge cluster? if so i thought there were only 4 194 bulbs back there? that you could switch to any color you want?

nah the only thing that gets wounded is the bulb, the sockets are fine, i have blue bulbs in mine but with the nrightness of the gauges it kills the light off the needles, i need some like 4 led 194's for it to be bright enough........

lol just go slow with them, dont force them out......once you take a look at them you will see what i mean........all i know is any kind of xenon filled 194 is not bright enough when you have aftermarket gauges.......
