Brighter dash light bulb?

Does anyone know if anybody makes an LED light for the dash of an 89 toyota pickup? Mine's getting a dim yellow and is about to need replacing. I'd light something a lot brighter and clearer. If need be, I'll rig my own setup for brighter lights, but I'd rather not cut and splice wires if there's an after market bulb replacement.

Cool link, although it's a bit confusing on which bulb to order. I got the light part numbers, I just need to figure out which bulb replaces this part number. Are these drop-in replacements? Like I can just take the old bulb out and stick this new one in?

It's telling me I need these: http://www.superbrightleds.com/other_bulbs.htm#555

i have bought lots of lights from superbrightleds and never had any problems with them. for your gauge cluster you will want to get the WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb. i have them in mine and they are great. i dont have any pics of them at night but i do have a crappy video that you can see them in of me going from 0 to 60.

Where do they have the WLED with 5 bulbs?

advance auto parts and checker have them in stock around here in red/amber color. I'm going to stop by tomorrow and see what else they have.

when you click on the buy now button it takes you to another page with the on there too. they are all the way at the bottom. the ones in the vid i posted are the cool white ones. warm white is close to the stock yellowish color you have now.

Yep, I got my blue LEDS from superbrightleds.com I used 3 wled for the main part of the cluster (#194) and two regular leds for the sides of the cluster (#74)

You can replace all your idiot lights aswell, they all use #74 bulbs, so does your heater, ashtray. Your turn signals (in the cluster) use 2 #194's so you can replace those too don't forget to remove the green plate though.

​This thread was extremely helpful... thanks for the insight.
Here's what I ordered for the instrument cluster in my 1985 Toyota Pickup Truck 22RE 4WD Automatic Transmission.
Hopefully the pic will help someone else but please don't consider it the gospel... this is just what I ordered for mine from superbrightleds.com
