They aren't LED's unless it's the new multicolor ones.

Default Sorry about that, do they use 194/168 incandescent bulbs?
I'm thinking this could be a good cure for the common Omori (AWE) issue of black spotting on a lot of the gauges where it's dim in certain areas of the lighting face.

Mine is working fine right now, but I'd like to know in case the bulb does burn out.
