All this talk about LEDs, anyone find a replacement for the dashboard 
instrument lights that are brighter than the incandescent ones specified?  I 
can't read the instruments at all with the stock bulbs.

was what I used in a 2002.  I bought 2 of each 'style' and compared them....

frankly, there's very little difference.  The more expensive version was a 
little brighter (but not much) and the ones with side- firing LEDs filled the 
housing a little better.  

About the only advantage seems to be that they 'snap' on and get your attention 
a bit better than a regular bulb that 'fades' in...

Something I haven't finished yet- drill a bunch of holes in a housing, and 
supplement the incandescent bulb with a dozen or so high brightness lamps.  
More 
light in a broader spectrum, plus the 'snap' to get your attention.  But it 
involves perforating the housings...

fwiw,
