Ok I took some pictures to show my improvement, don't have old pictures with regular bulbs but believe me it was dark.
First picture shows the kind of wedge I ordered, there is LED on 5 surfaces and each surface is made of 3 tiny LED's, too small to see on the picture
Second picture, only looks dark on the picture but wonder why right side (RPM) is brighter? Go to 3 to see what I did
Third shows the casing surrounding the bulb, it's white or rather yellowish after all the years. I covered one with aluminum foil (shiny side) to see the difference. There is big difference, aluminum (or silver paint would work too I guess?) reflects the light so much better than white plastic...
Then final which still looks darker than reality but it's hard to take good night picture with point and shoot camera.
I am sure white LED would be brighter but this is plenty bright for me, I just wanted something cooler looking. I am sure aluminum foil would improve things even with stock bulbs. If You do it, don't forget to glue it all around the bulb (that is half on removable casing and half on the speedo case) and use one slight drop of Loctite (super glue)
