i wouldnt suggest this unless your very good at fabrication/wiring, to make LED's light up your cluster bright enough and evenly you have to wire in more LED's than there are stock bulb sockets, if you just replace the bulbs straight up with LED's you will have dim and dark spots where the light wont even come thru, and where it does come thru will be fairly small and not that bright, i switched mine with orange LED's and my gas/temp light doesnt light up at all, my 10-30 mph is lit up fairly well, then its basically black untill 60-80, after that its black again till like 120. my tach isnt TOO bad its lit up all the way across, but its pretty dim. and i cant see my needles at all unless their crossing a part that is lit up, then i can see the shadow of them. obviously im talking about at night
