Got the new LED dash lights installed. They're not insanely brighter, but they are definitely brighter than stock, and with the green caps removed they are nice and pure white. Love em.
I bought 7 BA9s-W LED's from SuperBrightLEDs.com, which have specs of 180* viewing angle and 11200mcd. They plug right into the stock base, but the green caps MUST be removed. The LEDs are much longer than the stock light bulbs.
An interesting side effect is that once all incandescent bulbs were removed I was no longer able to dim the dash lights. They stay the same brightness through the rheostat range, so it's only on or off. If just one incandescent bulb is left in though, they'll dim like normal.
