Dash LED Conversions....bulbs needed..pictures?

OK, I've read a few posts on LED dash conversions and seen at least two pictures which look great.  I've found a bunch of places to get the bulbs and what type (57, 194, etc.)  But there appear to be so many LED variations (4 leds, 5, 9, 18, 25, 30 degree, 90 degree, 120 degree, 360 degree, and on and on). 

Has anyone done this without modifying the cluster to fit larger LED bulbs and been happy?  Can you share a picture and the type of LED's you got?

I am looking for the brightest I can get without fitment issues.  Looks like several guys have done this but there aren't many pictures of the finished product.

Also interested in the largest 1157 and 1156 that will fit in the front turn signal and rear back-up light.  And converting all the interior bulbs so the color matches (dome light, console, gear shifter, etc).

If you have em its time to show it off....  :icon_smile_big:

Thanks for your help!

Here are the bulbs I used in super white with no modifications. -EDIT- I changed my wedge bulbs to 360 degree firing bulb and they are a bit brighter than the straight firing bulbs. I included a new pic with the new bulbs and changed the link. Go with these if your going to get leds.

The parking lamps and reverse lights I used are these in super white. For best results with the turn signals you might have to replace the flasher relay.

I see they have available everything from 1- to 6-LED 194's. How bright are yours? I'm thinking I may want them dimmer during long night drives.
I don't suppose the dash LED's dim with the knob rheostat?

ok..so the first two links are for the two different types of dash bulbs and the last one is for the park/turn lamps right?  just wanted to make sure.  very impressive on the parkers.  I bought a set from another manufacturer for my front park/turns and was disappointed.  they looked  promising because the bulb area was almost as big as the entire lens.  when I went to put them in I found that I had to grind down the nubs on the bulb or else they wouldn't go in.  poorly manufactured and they were not even that bright anyway.  I am going to try the ones you posted, thanks.

The bad part with these is that they dont dim. But the light is not blinding so they are easy on your eyes. My old lights were so dim I couldnt read any of the gauges so Im glad to have the extra light.

Yeah the first 2 are for the dash and the last is for the parking/reverse lights. I might change my parking lights to these to these to make them a bit brighter. They are almost the same size with 8 more bulbs.

Those have to be blue LEDs because it's just too blue. I don't care for the blue very much but I'd like to see how a white LED looks.

you will need 3 of the wedge bulbs and I think 4 of the ba9s unless you change the blinkers and brake light then you will need 7 of the ba9s.

They are white bulbs called super white. Its the blue covers in the dash that give them that light blue color. Ive been thinking about removing them to make it more white. maybe??? Ive grown to like them.
