I have used B1 Hybrid bulbs, hyper white ones from eBay, they are a pretty popular brand and I'd reccomend that for the best, brightest , and most even lighting.

I've posted quite a bit of information about LED's in S13 clusters. Take a look at this thread:
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/57215-red-g...les-how-2.html Included are pictures of my cluster, front and back, plus illuminated. I used wide-angle LEDs from superbrightleds.com. The illumination is very nice and uniform. There is a blue tint to the gauge faces themselves. Nissan did this to make the gauges more of a pure white by counteracting the inherent yellowness of incandescent bulbs. The information I posted starts on page 2 and continues for a couple of pages. Don't buy random junk from ebay. Buy from a legit shop like superbrightleds, they even provide data sheets for all of their products. I have purchased from them several times, and have always been satisfied. Prices are reasonable too.

then you can mount an LED on the 'legs' that illuminate the needles. It will take more custom work than just plugging in a new bulb, but it is certainly doable. By default, the needles are illuminated by the background lighting, with the light funneled through 'light pipes'. If you mount LEDs on the ends of the light pipes, the needles will be the color of those LEDs instead.

get an LED, solder on the resistor, use hot glue gun, and make led sit where that bulb should sit.. stick LED probes into oem connector.

lol Norm, too lazy to get 74 LED bulbs and be the guinea pig for us? I seriously think it wouldn't be worth it. 194s are powerful enough to emit some great light and to fit multiple LEDs so you don't get hot spots. Not sure if there are 74 bulbs that have enough LEDs to prevent that.
