That makes sense. Also, I've always heard you may need a load balancer with led lights so they function properly. For me, the best approach when restoring my cluster, was to get a slightly brighter stock type bulb. They work great, and light things up as much I could ever want. Any more, and things could be blinding and distracting. If you search my old posts, I believe I list a Sylvania bulb part number

I have LEDs in my cluster and dont have a load balancer... If you want lights that look bad and are not bright enough for nothing, then stay with your stock style lights.

Hence why I am looking for comparison videos or pics.

I honestly don't remember what my dash cluster looked like at night!

Taken just now without a flash or any editing or fancy filters. Just a raw photo. Nice, huh?

That's great about the load balancer, but read my post again. I said I used brighter than stock bulbs, and that they light it up as much as I could ever want
