Christophe, there is a thread dedicated to the various bulb types here:

I’ve fitted LEDs to my dash clocks. They are a pain to get right. The originals give a gentle all over glow. Diffused is the lighting term for it.
LEDs tend to be righter in a smaller area on the dash, the result can be too bright near the lamps and too dark elsewhere.

100%, Mabo. I'm a firm believer in using LEDs where I can, but the clocks? Nope.

As you say, the design requires the light source to be diffuse, and LEDs - in the standard holders - just shine straight in your face ond only illumiinate a small area. No bueno.
