Im thinking about replacing the dome and map light with some white LED lights, is this really worth it or are the stock lights just as bright?

ok thats cool. i just ordered new led map lights so we'll see what thats like and go from there.
There are 194's behind the needles in the SVT. I have led dome light. It's the sheezy.

^^yes of course. i have green inverted leds in mine. it doesnt light up the needle, but it also doesnt spread "soft white" light under the needle either.
the green led 194s dont light up a damn thing in the cluster. since it spreads the light outward, thus spreading the light all underneath the gauge face. no pic necessary. it would look the same if there werent bulbs there at all. the 194s are there soley to light up the needles.
The SVT gauge faces are electroluminecent... they don't use bulbs. Only the needles use bulbs, and those are replaceable. The problem with some SVTs is the bulb for the needles cause a little halo to leak out around the base of the needles. Scrammer changed his to green LEDs so there wouldn't be a halo anymore.
^^correct. i have contiplated replacing the inverted leds to a forward facing led bulb. but i just havent had the desire to rip the cluster out again.
so i just got my map lights in the mail from v-leds. they do look sweet and i like them, but they are NOT brighter than the stock light bulbs. i just ordered the dome light.
What kind of bulbs did you order? The really bright ones are the SMD ones, and you can't get directional LED's for the map lights, you gotta get ones with the LED's pointed in all directions.
these are the ones i have now http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/...xterior-LED/CornerSide-Marker-LED/White-LED/2-HID-WHITE-SMT-5-LED-p6057628.html
i have an svt, can someone give me the bulb numbers for the dome light and the driver and passenger map lights? i want to put blue leds in my interior
