A little follow up. I was bugged by the fact that the amount of light getting to the transmission selector via the fiber optic cable was almost nonexistent with the LEDs. I even tried a different LED that puts light out to the sides as well and it made no difference. So, I knew it would bug me more and more over time so I put a normal bulb in the socket with the fiber optic cable. Then the lighting was uneven and more yellow than where the LEDs were. I then put one of those little green rubber bulb covers on that bulb and the color matches and the light output is pretty even across the cluster AND I have my transmission gear selector properly illuminated again. Win-win. And I've still lightened the electrical load on the dash lighting system by probably 90% or more. I will also be adding LEDs to the turnsignals, glovebox and heater controls lighting as soon as those bulbs arrive in the mail tomorrow.
