I do not have any dead spots in my cluster at all. I do have silver cluster with orange/red needles.
The second leds are at least double the brightness of the first ones.
I also at one point changed out EVERY bulb in the cluster to leds and found that certain ones always would have a ghost image. That got annoying so swapped those back to normal bulbs. The turn signals I kept leds. During the day they are nice and bright but at night they are a little too bright honestly.
If I ever take the cluster out I would probably switch those back to normal bulbs.
I remember someone on the ranger forum that used led strip lighting and it came out awesome for his cluster. JP maybe?
My favorite cluster before I swapped mine out is really the stock black housing, green gauges with white needles. Using pure white leds behind the cluster just looks soooo clean to me. I was half tempted to use the white needles from my old cluster on my new one but it just didn't look right. It was hard to see the needles during the day on a gray cluster background.
