I've removed my gague cluster and played with red super-bright LED's stolen from Radio Shack QueCats. I was impressed by them, but I would use different LEDs. Most LEDs (the kind that don't have an internal resistor) will need to be linked 4 serially. Odds are if you're playing with LEDs, you already know this. ;) I'll get to the nitty.

I had some "dark spots". I only had 4 LEDs (one bulb), which were red, and narrow beam. IMHO, narrow beam greens are going to be the only option for adiquate lighting. However I only made one attempt.

I'm also not entirely sure the Voltage Regulator Module is capable of supporting the higher current draw you may experience with LEDs, or how gracious any gradienting may be.

If you make it work though, I'll be impressed. :)
