    What if you were to get a spare piece of plastic for infront of the guages (incase it doesnt look how you want it).

    Drill holes around the outer edge large enough to fit the LED's of your choice in it (If the LED's are to wide, just make sure you leave a little plastic on the outter surface, and just hot glue the backside).

    Put the LED's in.

    This might be to bright also, but its a suggestion.

      Just take out your gauge cluster and replace those 9 bulbs with led's. Get rather dim rated led's or it will be very very bright. I know a guy who did this in his truck with red/white/blue led's making his gauge cluster look very patriotic at night.

                      I didnt do near as much as you did.....I actually took out that plastic peice inside the shifter overlay and i bought the pack of 4 Blue LEDs from advance autoparts and i wired it through the light that used to be in there. I spliced into it and then modified the bulb to fit inside the intial locking housing plastic peice. I made sure that when i put the bulb into there when it locked into place that it was facing towards the front of the car so the path of light was shooting directly down it. with leds they dont emit side to side its just a direct path.

                      Let me know if you need anymore help..
