LED's or Regular? Help Pls!

I know this is been beaten to death, but after a whole lot of reading I still have concerns. Some bulbs on my ac controls, and my shifter (AT) are off. Also I wish I could make the entire thing brighter. My biggest concern is over looks I want something reliable. I really don't want to deal with taking the whole thing out every time I have a failure or busted bulb little alone messing up my tach.

So what is the best way to get the right set up, and what parts No. or type bulbs do I need. (CL-S 2002)

Yup that's what I'm leaning to! I have a part number for OEM bulb, but I think is just for the Shifters light/s (35505-692-003). Is there a type of bulb I could get that would fit perfect. I am just worry bout some of the post I read claiming busted tach cuz the bulb wouldn't fit. I just wanted to be as straight forward as possible, no mod no extra work. xchange one for the busted one and that's it....

FYI to all doing the LED gauge cluster...
the main issue is that you cannot just plug an LED into the incandescent bulb socket and get a nice even light. you end up with horrible hot spots. to cure this you must add individual LEDs throughout to fill in the darker spots.

i found the strip LEDs a long while back but just not purchased some for the new gauge install. i took out the LED bulbs and just now have these flexible strips soldered in place. perfect light! i will take some pictures tonight.
