Interior Accent Lights(pics added), neon vs led Options

[captb]

(1)I am going to order gauge cluster lights from autolumination. i am trying to find the one that will give the most even and brightest light. i looked through the threads and it seems everyone says something like "i use the 5led one", etc. but there are so many different kinds. i read from one post that matrix bulbs are the best so i was gonna buy 3 of those. Is this the best for our gauges or should i go with an smt, superstar, etc.?(this is what autolumination calls them)

(2)i always wanted accent lights under the dash, trunk area(for subs), and possibly underseats if need be. my question is leds or neons tubes best for accent lighting? i was hoping leds would be bright enough, and if they are would the 5 led tubes be enough to give a decent look. i wanted these because they seem relatively cheap. can someone also tell me why these leds only have 2 wires? am i correct in assuming i need a manual swithc for these?

5 LED

Matrix LED

Dang, I like those gauges! I've tried getting mine white before, but turns out hust taking the bulb condom off of your factory bulbs just gets a urine yellow effect so I went with red bulbs. I'm definitely picking up some of those LED's when I get a chance. I had blue LED's before but they were kinda cheap and stopped working one me.
