I ordered 4 red and 6 white. I hope to use the red's for the gauge lights, but if they end up being too bright or I don't like them, I'll still have 6 whites that I can use for interior lights (dome lights, etc.) on my car. Delivery is 50 days... I'll post before/after pictures of the gauge back lighting once I've received and installed the bulbs.

i received the bulbs I ordered from Ali Express. I tried the red LED bulbs but i did not find these overly bright, about the same as the OEM white bulbs. I then installed the white LED's and these are noticeably brighter then the stock bulbs. I took a picture of the OEM bulb and the LED bulb to show the brightness difference. The second picture is the dash lights with the OEM bulbs and the third with the LED white bulbs. The pictures probably don't do it justice. I haven't changed any of the indicator bulbs, as I don't see a need to change them.

I think the white LED's are nice improvement and I can see my gauges better now. For $5 it was worth it.
