I have a near new cluster I obtained from Pull-A-Part out of a last of the squares Suburban. I used LEDs in that. Haven't installed it as I moved and swapping clusters hasn't made it to the top of the list yet.

One nice thing about LEDs is they come in colors so you can use green ones for the turn indicators, blue for the bright indicator, etc. Can help cover up any imperfections in the plastic covers for the indicator lights.

I noticed that the ones from Superbright tend to not care about polarity.

Another thing is during testing, they don't dim much via the OEM dimmer.
