Default 2005 Elantra GLS instrument and dash bulbs

Hi Everyone -

I have a 2005 Elantra GLS, sedan\automatic. I am in need of procuring replacement bulbs

At this stage, I might as well convert over to LED.

I have replaceed the HVAC bulbs with LED. I used T3 wedge single SMD LEDs (from ebay). They are bright enough, but do not disperse light evenly. Suggestions for this?

Next, I will need the instrument cluster bulbs. First, my fuel backlighting went out (car has 225,000 miles - so this was bound to happen). I used one the left over T4 LED wedge bulbs I had. What was there before had a bigger base, but I managed to get the smaller T4 wedge LED working. This one is bright and disperses light evenly for the fuel gauge.

During all of this, one of the speedo back-lighting bulbs go out. (GRRRR)

So at this point, I just thinking of converting the entire dash to LED.

instrument cluster
clock
hazard
radio
HVAC (like I said, already done, but dispersement is disappointing)
dimmer control

Anyone have a list of bulb types needed? And any reference to reputable vendors would be nice as well.

Thank you for your help.

George
