I purchased a pair of these led cluster bulbs to try in the instrument cluster for illumination of the dials etc as opposed to warning lamps. I've tried this pair in the display today, all I can say is wow. What a difference. I've ordered a further pair as the display incorporates four bulbs for general display illumination. The ebay link identifies the seller.

I've ordered these to try as replacement bulbs for the warning lights in the display. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300565534335?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Only single led, but, as the led is very directional far more suited to this application as opposed to the multi directional requirement of the general display lighting

Excellent visibility. At less than 12p each delivered, excellent value. The resulting display, photographed in daylight.

Two of mine needed dab of solder on the wire contacts but they now work fine. I should have got some for the warning lights as well.
