Ok so before I was asking around what LEDs people used some swore by them said they look great some said comes out uneven. I personally went to Superbrightleds and bought the 5x leds bulbs and the pictures below are what i got. I know their is a few different types of bulbs on that site but for anyone looking in the future avoid these bulbs. Im posting this more as a archive for other people searching cause I had a difficult time myself and didnt know who to listen to. Feel free to post pictures and bulbs used likes and dislikes for other people such as myself.

LED's are spotty for the most part.

Get some incandescent ones, much better quality light output.

PERFECT lighting, not a single hotspot.

3 194's on the s14 cluster. i think there might be a warning light that uses another 194, but i know the clock is smaller. its been a year since i played with those lights, but im pretty sure thats the answer.
