I totally disagree with you on this one. I just upgraded from normal bright LEDs to their super bright ones and there are still no hot spots, the color is beautiful, looks like stock but much brighter. Two orders from them, have had a single bulb go bad (maybe 20 bulbs total?), anyone who sees my cluster comments on the brightness and how good it looks. They have bulbs that give up to 360 degrees of even light output, or down to a 20 degree spot light, all the numbers are listed.
not affiliated with them at all, but when I find a product I like I stand by it

When I bought, maybe a year ago? I got some 160 degree LEDs for like $4 a bulb man, pretty good deal. Paid a couple more for these new high powered ones, man are they fricken bright and with absolutely no hotspotting! The only thing is, on my old ones I could get a more cool blue lighting, with these I get straight white (color temps are weird with cars, ya'll call something that's 14k an 8k and so-on, but these guys are dead-on with their color temps) so they're more green like original, maybe a tad less, but still look amazing. Far less bleeding than I thought as well!
I'm not a professional in the industry but a lot of my hobbies carry over into lighting. LEDs as a light source are a bit new to me though and I've only ever used them for night-time lighting in my aquariums and for indicators and some lighting with electronics, but nothing this strict in regards to beam pattern and light output.
WLED-x5 (194 type) Wedge Base bulbs Specifications
These are what I originally bought. I now have the old LEDs in other indicators (windshield wiper and stuff, where they look great)
High Power SMD WLED-xHP5 (194 type) 360 degree Wedge Base bulbs Specifications
These are whats in there now.. they're absolutely amazing. These are polarized and I thought that would make them a pain to install but for some reason they all worked on first go. I can say without a doubt, these fit, they look great, they work great in a Bronco or F150's dash..

I wish i had a center console for a locking box. I have a $3 cup holder deal from Walmart that i cut a piece off to fit in between the shifter and seat on my ranger. Now it sits in the middle of my bench in TGM, i need a better place for it.
