LED lights for my gauge cluster?

I'm wondering if anybody a has seen LEDs to replace the bulbs in the dashboard. I'm not talking about the rediculous blue and green ones. I just want a straight replacement clear (or white) LED to replace the bulb.
I've got my dash apart right now, that's why I'm wondering.

Pick em up from Radio Shack. Or you can get em surplus from http://www.allelectronics.com

Other suppliers are:
http://www.digikey.com
http://www.alliedelec.com
http://www.newark.com
http://www.mouser.com

Just gotta current match a resistor from 12 volts...

Also, using green for turn signals and red or yellow for other respective indicators would be cheaper than using whites all over. White and Blue LED's are the most expensive ones.
